Вопросы здравоохранения & безопасности в Anfi.

Насилие и угрозы насилия, Anfi ставят их торговые представители под не применять соответствующие законы, Таймшер, как упоминалось в моем ;ответ #1; выше на этой резьбе.

Я присутствовал прием Anfi для сбора гостей в 15.05 часов и встретился с семьей 3. Жена была adamant, она не хочет делать презентации. Муж сказал, что они были заказаны, чтобы оставить на пароме в 16.00 часов в тот же день, но VPR (OPC) сказал им, что они могут собирать свои подарки любым способом. Я сообщил им, что они должны были присутствовать 90 минут презентации для того, чтобы претендовать на их подарки. Жена была по-прежнему непреклонен, она не принимает презентации и муж настаивал, что он хотел подарки, там и тогда. Я посмотрел вокруг стойки и вообще не было никаких признаков любой персонал. Член персонала, который забронировали их в не остаться и познакомить меня с гостями. При поиске какой-либо из сотрудников стойки регистрации, я увидел британской холодной линии продаж Менеджер (BCLSM) за пределами просмотра и прослушивания этого инцидента. Я ему объяснил обстоятельства. Он ответил: ;вы должны принять их, потому что они на вашу статистику. (Я на данный момент interject и ссылаться на знаменитую цитату из Марка Твена. ;Ложь, черт ложь и статистика позволяют подтвердить слабый аргумент; ). Мне удалось успокоить их и взял их прямо в области продаж, который был моим единственным вариантом, в то время. A-Z презентации книги правила было невозможно применить.

Из-за мужа агрессивной манере и требуя подарков, которые они обещали OPC, в 15.50 ч. в этот же день мы присоединились помощник менеджера. В то время как я поясняющих обстоятельства помощник менеджера, муж вскочил со стула и начал стучать на столе крича ;мой сын был обещан его дары;. Муж продолжал кричать и стучать на стол, требуя подарки. Вся торговая площадь пошли тихо, как люди остановили, что они делают, чтобы смотреть и слушать эту ситуацию. Помощник менеджера сообщил семье, они не принимали участия в 90-минутной презентации и не претендовать свои подарки. Волнения на нашем столе стали гораздо хуже с отцом крича ;мой сын надули и лгал вашей компанией, ты позорище, посмотрите на него, он только 4 лет;, а затем он кричал бранные слова, как он уходил. Семья покинула и поймали их 16.00 часов на пароме из точки парома на острове Anfi.

В свое время иногда гость потребовал увидеть менеджера для того, чтобы подать жалобу в отношении их пуском в Anfi для таймшера презентации под ложным предлогом и вводящей в заблуждение информации о сборе своих подарков. В своем ;ответе #3; из этого потока есть ссылки, которые показывают эти вопросы назад хорошее количество лет.
Anfi по-прежнему ничего не об этой серьезной проблеме здоровья & безопасности даже несмотря на то, что они и были осведомлены в течение ряда лет.

Эти и многие другие практики, упомянутые в этом потоке не являются уникальными для Anfi, однако я проводки из ;первых рук; знания и опыт работы в Anfi Del Mar.

Anfi продаж холодной линии были 3 команды продаж. Синие значки, оранжевые значки и ;немногих избранных; (BCLSM's друзей) которая представляет собой смесь синего и оранжевого значки.
Неоднократно я стал свидетелем одного из ;немногих избранных;, собирая своих гостей из приемной и возвращение в течение 20 минут и с гость удалены из своих статистических данных. ;Выбрали один; будет идти прямо обратно к началу списка для того, чтобы принять следующий гость на презентации.

Трудовое законодательство в настоящее время нарушена.

Рабочий день начался в 09.00 часов. ;Cut off точка; для сбора гостя от стойки 16.00 часов, однако, иногда вы бы собрать гостя в 16.15 ч. потому что гость не прибыл на 16.00 часов, но были ;на пути в;.

Полное представление займет примерно 3 часа. Иногда гости будут обсуждать их прихода в течение еще час или более. Решение о присоединении к часто было сделано около 20.30 часов. Договорные документы затем должен был завершен, который иногда может добавить еще один час или больше к процессу. Были случаи, когда я никогда не покинул Anfi Del Mar до 22.00 в тот день, в общей сложности 13 часов.

Испанская занятости законы государства фактические рабочие часы в день не может превышать 9 и по меньшей мере 12 часов должно пройти между концом одного рабочего дня и началом следующего рабочего дня.

В среду, 15 апреля 2015 года, непосредственно до 09.00 часов утреннего заседания я получил словесные оскорбления и угрожали насилием и ;положить через окно f ***;. (Будут размещены позднее, поскольку доклад был представлен Anfi HR в этот день). В тот же день, я собрал гостей из приема района и эти гости решили совершить покупку и присоединиться к Anfi. К тому времени было завершено оформление документов я хорошо превысил 9 часовой рабочий день. Я еще должен был присутствовать на утреннем заседании 09.00 часов в четверг, 16 апреля 2015 года.

Anfi ;новых владельцев барбекю; всегда был на четверг каждой недели. Будучи на утреннем заседании 09.00 часов утром, было обязательно присутствовать на барбекю и встретить ваших гостей для того, чтобы ответить на любые вопросы, ваши клиенты имели и консолидировать ваши продажи. Я никогда не оставил Anfi-дель-Мар до 22.00 часов в тот вечер.
Помимо угрозы насилия это были 2 дня подряд, когда я работал гораздо больше часов, чем юридические 9 часов, разрешенной законом.

Аффтар, в двух словах аннатацию сделай, а то лениво фсё читать.

Если вы не один из британских холодной линии продаж менеджеров (BCLSM) ;избранных;, вы были легкой мишенью.

Я прибыл на работу утром и говорил с 62 лет мужчина коллега за пределами области продаж до утреннего заседания. Человек начал рассказывать мне о лечении, которое он получил от BCLSM накануне. Как он говорил, он со слезами на глазах и дрожащим его нижней губы. Я мог ясно видеть, что этот человек был так расстроен, на что он описывал.

За несколько недель до среда, 15 апреля 2015 года, мужчина продаж представителя (SR) был передан британской холодной линии из отдела продаж собственными силами (IH). Видимо, это было из-за отсутствия навыков межличностного общения со своими коллегами IH. Сказать, он ;не потребуется дипломатическое отделение; было бы преуменьшением года. Он также был одним из тех громкие голоса, которые всегда могли быть подслушаны из группы. Я буду называть его головорез. Однако он был другом BCLSM и получил специальное лечение, которое применяется только к выбранному немногие.

В 08.55 часов в среду, 15 апреля 2015 года я сидел в торговом зале, в ожидании утреннего заседания. Сидя на моей левой была молодая женщина SR и мое право было 62 лет старый СР. Все 3 из нас имели хороший разговор, который счастливый характер и был пользуются все 3 из нас.

Головорез прибыл и сидел рядом с 62 лет старый человек. Садясь, он сразу же начал тираду оскорблений и злоупотреблений, направленных на меня. Он использует мое имя будучи оскорбительным и оскорбительным, оставляя никаких сомнений о том, кто что дней было. Я спросил бандита, чтобы остановить его комментарии, к которым он стал еще громче с его противный комментарии и злоупотреблений, и после третьего времени просят его остановить, головорез кричал ;F *** SHUT UP или я будет поставить вас через F *** окно;. Все области продаж, которая затем была оккупирована примерно 50 SR, пошли тихо. Я снова сказал бандита, чтобы остановить. В конце концов остановился головорез.

После утреннего заседания, я пытался сообщить об инциденте директор по продажам, без успеха.

В 09.40 часов я завершил 2 страницы заявление, которое я представил людских ресурсов Департамента по завершению. В то время как я был сидел в приемной, написание этого заявления 2 страницы, женский ассистент холодной линии менеджер по продажам шел вокруг стойки говорить очень громко образом, чтобы кто-нибудь, что бы слушать. Я мог слышать каждое слово, которое она говорила. Комментарии были в основном против моей отчетности этой серьезной угрозе насилия. Я чувствовал, ;как смеете могу сообщить, только угрожали насилием.;

Был уволен головорез? N Он относился больше как герой BCLSM и помощник BCLSM.

Ничего не было когда-либо обсудил с себя снова по этой жалобе.

Именно после этого инцидента помощник BCLSM начал использовать ;есть еще не я в команде; на встречах британской холодной линии продаж.

Злоупотребление властью?

Со ссылкой на мой ;ответ #4; потока, под заголовком ;трудовое законодательство в настоящее время нарушена;, посетив барбекю на четверг, 16 апреля 2015 года я был на утреннем заседании на 09.00 часов пятница 17 апреля 2015 года.

В 11.40 часов утром, из-за проверки Департамента, не завершив некоторых контрактных документов от продажи на среду, 15 апреля 2015 года я завершала же, когда я увидел BCLSM и дал ему словесное ситуации доклад. Я также сообщил ему, я не чувствовал хорошо и боли в груди. Он ответил, если я по-прежнему чувствовал себя плохо после завершения документации, я должен пойти и увидеть врача в клинике на прицел в Anfi Del Mar.

В 12.15 часов в тот же день, завершив обработку документов я пошел к врачу как проинструктировано. Из-за вопросов управления я был информирован приемной в клинике в Anfi-дель-Мар, врач не сможет видеть меня. Мне было сказано, если мне нужна медицинская помощь я должен присутствовать отдел ;Urgencias; в Аргуинегуин клиника/больница.

В 12.25 ч. я присутствовал клиника/больница в Аргуинегуин.

В 13.05 часов в тот день я послал BCLSM мобильное текстовое сообщение, которое включает ;я надеялся, что 4 часа моего собственного свободного времени, которое я провел в барбекю прошлой ночью бы для этого во второй половине дня. Я не хорошо. Я думаю, его стресс и заголовок домой J ***;

После того, как наши 2 выделенные выходные дни, в субботу и воскресенье, я вернулся на работу в понедельник, 20 апреля 2015 года.

Я был очистки от моей брошюры после завершения презентации карандаш шаг для того, чтобы встретить моих гостей на улицу и пойти на пешеходную экскурсию курорта, когда я подошел административный секретарь. Ее офис находится в области холодной линии продаж. Я сообщил ей, что по поручению BCLSM, она вычла день отпуска из моего выделенного отпуска для предыдущей пятницы, 17 апреля 2015 года.

Я запросил информацию по электронной почте, которую я направил в отдел кадров и административного секретаря о том, является ли этот вычет день отправится в пятницу, 17 апреля 2015 года является злоупотребление служебным положением менеджер по продажам британской холодной линии. Я никогда не получил ответа, будь то в устной или в письменной форме.

Когда продажи представитель (SR) начинает работать Anfi, они первоначально помещаются на временный контракт. SR ожидается, затем сделать несколько продаж в промежутке времени. Если вы не достигают требуемых целей, ваши услуги уже не требуется. Достигнув требуемых целей, SR затем будет расти в ежедневных/еженедельных ;Продажи строки заказа;. Это означает, что SR будет выделено гостей утром чем те SR ниже в строке заказа. Идеальная ситуация для любого SR является верхней строки продажи.

Первые гости, прибывающие на прием Anfi Del Mar обычно те привозят через Thomas Cook ;Праздничная программа;.

Бронирование Thomas Cook (T/C) гостей производятся представители T/C, иногда днями ранее. Эти гости являются ;pre; квалифицированные T/C, действуюшего получить как можно больше информации на этих гостей. Прибытие гостей в отеле Anfi Del Mar находятся в шахматном порядке раз, чтобы не вызвать конгрегации и путаница в зоне приема Anfi.

Вы никогда не догадаться, какой Anfi сотрудник отвечал за все заказы Thomas Cook, прибывающих в Anfi. Ага Британская холодная линия продаж менеджера жены. Все и как можно больше информации о T/C гостей было также отмечено до их прибытия в Anfi.

Интересно, если это была причина, по которой BCLSM бы тайные переговоры с одним из немногих избранных, прежде чем они собрали своих гостей от приема?

Сотрудники стойки регистрации должны пройти процедуру бронирования этих и всех гостей. Эта процедура включает ;гости знают, что они посещают 90 минут презентации для того, чтобы претендовать на их подарки;.

Так как T/C гости были преквалификацию представители T/C, персонал будет только спросить этих гостей их имена, чтобы уточнить, кто они. Сотрудники стойки регистрации никогда не пойдет через прием ;проверка в списке;.

Так как T/C гости были преквалифицированных на своих собственных представителей, информация будет передаваться к британской холодной линии продаж Менеджер (BCLSM). Он будет затем ;вишневый pick;, который получил гостей, соответствуя до времени прибытия гостей совпадает с порядком линии S/R.

В некоторых случаях BCLSM будет место SR в нижней линии заказа продажи по причине слабой. Находясь в нижней строке продажи означает, что было бы практически невозможно встретить гостей, что рабочий день.

Другими словами BCLSM был всегда отвечает за не только зарплату, но ваша судьба.

Опять же я процитирую Марк Твен; ;ложь, черт ложь и статистика используется для подтвердить слабый аргумент;

Гости Thomas Cook (упоминается в ответе #3 потока.)

По просьбе директора продаж четверг 9 июля 2015 я представил отчет по электронной почте к нему. Этот доклад включал семью, Стюарт (отец), Лиза (мать), Исла (4годы старый), Луи (2years старых) и Сет (1years старых). Мой доклад включал следующее;

;Я готовился покинуть Мароа и начал ;Установка сцены; когда Стюарт и Лиза показал презрение и спросил меня, что я имел в виду. Я спросил их, что они сказали о посещении Anfi в тот день. Лиза сказала, что им было приказано спуститься вниз, корма рыбы напитка и ходить вокруг острова на полчаса, то они могли бы провести остаток дня на пляже. Я спросил, кто сказал, что;. Лиза сказал A *** от Thomas Cook.. и повторил выше.

К счастью имея большой разминки я смог успокоить Стюарт и Лиза вниз. Я кратко установить сцену и подчеркнул очень быстро Кидди комната в нашем офисе и как 80% + родители пытаются получить своих детей из нашей детской комнаты из-за прекрасные навыки Марии с детьми.

Завершив мое намерение заявление и собирался ходить, Исла и Луи начал плакать, потому что они поняли, что они не шли на пляж. С этого момента до тех пор, пока мы вернулись к мосту, как дети по-прежнему плакала и стал ;кучки;. По прибытии на мосту Лиза сказал мне ;я не люблю, лежал на мои дети и я чувствую, как будто я лгал им;.

Я включил ниже в настоящем докладе;
;Если я может выразить свое личное мнение относительно истины и доверия с гостями, большинство родителей, которых я встречаю в этой отрасли являются достойных родителей, которые не любят своих детей, будучи расстроен другие действия;.

Как уже говорилось ранее, мое письмо директор по продажам, цитирует как минимум 80% плюс приглашенных гостей понятия не имел, что они шли.

Томас Кук также предоставляют клиентам в больших количествах в другие курорты RDO/ТАТОС.

Исследовал Интернет относительно праздника жалоб, я нашел следующее;

Потеря удовольствия - восстановление суммы за неудобства и разочарование, причиненный вам.

Цитата на ;tripadvisor; восходит к 13 декабря 2011 (Поиск. TripAdvisor для ;Остерегайтесь Anfi rep на Томас Кук приветствия; 13 декабря 2011 года.), было 3 года 7 месяцев до моей электронной почте директор по продажам.

Интересно, сколько детей и семьи имели часть их праздника, разрушенной T/C повторений, которые не соблюдают Таймшер законодательства?

Интересно, если потеря удовольствия будут применяться к компаниям, которые позволяют представителям их праздник в нарушение 2 законы, цитируется в этом потоке, ответить #1?

The Anfi Way (Part 2 of 7)

The following 2 Laws cover Timeshare in Spain TODAY; (including the dates I worked there) 1) Real Decreto-ley 8/2012, de 16 de Marzo. 2) EU Directive 122 (16/3/2012)

These 2 laws are not an 'either/or' option. They BOTH MUST be complied with. You will clearly see the following words in the EU Directive 122;

"Member States should not be allowed to maintain or introduce in their national legislation provisions diverging from those laid down in this Directive".

I have included the Articles and Chapters which include the "No monies to be taken", because I appreciate Lawyers may miss this if it is mentioned only the one time. Count how many times the 2 LAWS refer to "No monies to be taken" (in Parts 2 to 7. Parts 3/4/5/6 and 7 will follow)

EU Directive 122 (16/3/2012)

Consumers: Determined Commission action ensures timeshare protection in all EU countries
Brussels, 31 May 2012 - Today, the European Commission closed an infringement case against Spain on the Timeshare Directive (Directive 2008/122/EC) after the country notified the Commission of a new law (Decreto-ley) transposing the rules. (Real Decreto-ley 8/2012, de 16 de marzo)

The Directive also ensures that consumers may withdraw from a contract within a "cooling-off" period of 14 calendar days and that traders can never ask them for any form of advance payment or deposit during that period. Before the conclusion of the contract, the trader is required to explicitly draw the consumer's attention to the existence of the right of withdrawal, the length of the withdrawal period and the ban on advance payments during the withdrawal period.

Protection by the Directive now also covers new products and contracts which had been developed so as to avoid the application of the previous Timeshare Directive.

***********************The Anfi Way.********************

The Anfi Cold Sales lines sold a 'Trial Membership' (a part Time Membership). The part time membership consisted of either a 2 week, 3 week, 4 week up to a maximum of 5 weeks, all of which were to be used at Anfi Del Mar. Did Anfi circumvent the 2 laws by 'PROVISIONALLY' booking all the weeks purchased, into an 11 month time slot from the date of the purchase (thus, not breaching the 2 laws). The purchasers would hear the word PROVISIONALLY numerous times from the management and verifications department. The purchasers were also given the use of 'RCI Extra Weeks' after the 11 month period if they didn't UPGRADE to a full membership during their first holiday at Anfi. The 'Trial Membership' was presented as a 2 and a half year 'package'. It was then up to the In-House sales department to upgrade these clients. I have always wondered, if an INDEPENDENT AUDIT was completed on how many of these part time membership weeks were actually used outside the 11 month period? A deposit or 'cash out' was always taken on the day of purchase of these 'Trial Memberships'.

On 17 March 2012, Spain published Real Decreto-Ley 8/2012 transposing the Timeshare Directive. It entered into force the following day and was validated by the Spanish Parliament on 29 March 2012.Through its recent transposition, Spain avoided the risk of financial sanctions which the Commission could have requested under the Lisbon Treaty (Article 260 (3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU) when taking a Member State to court for failing to transpose an EU directive.

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Since the adoption of Directive 94/47/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 1994 on the protection of purchasers in respect of certain aspects of contracts relating to the purchase of the right to use immovable properties on a timeshare basis
(3), timeshare has evolved and new holiday products similar to it have appeared on the market. These new holiday products and certain transactions related to timeshare, such as resale contracts and exchange contracts, are not covered by Directive 94/47/EC. In addition, experience with the application of Directive 94/47/EC has shown that some subjects already covered need to be updated or clarified, in order to prevent the development of products aiming at circumventing this Directive.

(3) In order to enhance legal certainty and fully achieve the benefits of the internal market for consumers and businesses, the relevant laws of the Member States need to be approximated further. Therefore, certain aspects of the marketing, sale and resale of timeshares and long-term holiday products as well as the exchange of rights deriving from timeshare contracts should be fully harmonised. Member States should not be allowed to maintain or introduce in their national legislation provisions diverging from those laid down in this Directive. Where no such harmonised provisions exist, Member States should remain free to maintain or introduce national legislation in conformity with Community law. Thus, Member States should, for instance, be able to maintain or introduce provisions on the effects of exercising the right of withdrawal in legal relationships falling outside the scope of this Directive or provisions according to which no commitment may be entered into between a consumer and a trader of a timeshare or long-term holiday product, nor any payment made between those persons, as long as the consumer has not signed a credit agreement to finance the purchase of those services.
(4) This Directive should be without prejudice to the application by Member States, in accordance with Community law, of the provisions of this Directive to areas not within its scope. Member States could therefore maintain or introduce national legislation corresponding to the provisions of this Directive or certain of its provisions in relation to transactions that fall outside the scope of this Directive.

It Directive 2008 / 122 / CE of 14 of January of the 2009 relative to the protection of them consumers with regard to certain aspects of them exploitations by shift of goods of use tourist, of acquisition of products rentals of long duration, of resale and Exchange, repeals the directive of 1994. The new directive is based on the appearanceof new holiday products that precisely defines, fill in gaps, extends the harmonization of the internal legal systems of States, reinforces the information consumer, regulates more precisely the deadlines for exercising the right of withdrawal, insists and extends the prohibition of payment of advances during the term of office of such law, requires a calendar of payments for those contracts of long duration and determines the ineffectiveness of certain loans of financing for the case of withdrawal. Should highlight is that them circumstances of extraordinary and urgent need, that under the article 86.1 of the Constitution enabled to the Government to adopt measures through real decree-law, come certain by the need of give compliance to them obligations derived of our membership to the Union European. It should be noted that the deadline for incorporation of Directive 2008/122/EC was on February 23, 2011 and since the European Commission already it has initiated appropriate actions to punish Spain with a significant fine. The adoption of this Royal Decree-Law responds accordingly, in avoiding the negative economic consequences for Spain which would be derived from the imposition of a fine by the European Union, at the time that is ahead of the entry into force of a rule which, on the one hand, improves the protection of consumers and, on the other hand, serves to boost an important sector of the Spanish economy.

Chapter II transposes the rules of the directive on advertising and pre-contractual information with particular reference to the right of withdrawal, as well as banning consumer pay advances during the period of exercise of such right. In terms of facilitating the pre-contractual information, the European standard is looking for total harmonisation require the use of certain standardized forms that are incorporated by the corresponding annexes to this standard.

Are also transposition of the directive them rules on prohibition of advances or payments to charge of the consumer during the term of exercise of the right to desist,as well as the inefficiency of them contracts accessories, even them loans, in case of withdrawal, and the need of organize a plan stepped of payments for them contracts of products rentals of long duration.

The Anfi Way (Part 3 of 7)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (Continued)

(5) The different contracts covered by this Directive should be clearly defined in such a way as to preclude circumvention of its provisions.

(9) Directive 2005/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2005 concerning unfair business-to-consumer commercial practices in the internal market (Unfair Commercial Practices Directive) (5) prohibits misleading, aggressive and other unfair commercial business-to-consumer practices. Given the nature of the products and the commercial practices related to timeshares, long-term holiday products, resale and exchange, it is appropriate to adopt more detailed and specific provisions regarding information requirements and sales events. The commercial purpose of invitations to sales events should be made clear to consumers. The provisions concerning pre-contractual information and the contract should be clarified and updated. In order to give consumers the possibility to acquaint themselves with the information before the conclusion of the contract, it should be provided by means which are easily accessible to them at that time.

(12) Consumers should have effective remedies in the event that traders do not comply with the provisions regarding pre-contractual information or the contract, in particular those laying down that the contract should include all the information required and that the consumer should receive a copy of the contract at the time of its conclusion. In addition to the remedies existing under national law, consumers should benefit from an extended withdrawal period where information has not been provided by traders. The exercise of the right of withdrawal should remain free of charge during that extended period regardless of what services consumers may have enjoyed. The expiration of the withdrawal period does not preclude consumers from seeking remedies in accordance with national law for breaches of the information requirements.

(14) The prohibition on advance payments to traders or any third party before the end of the withdrawal period should be clarified in order to improve consumer protection. For resale contracts, the prohibition of advance payment should apply until the actual sale takes place or the resale contract is terminated, but Member States should remain free to regulate the possibility and modalities of final payments to intermediaries where resale contracts are terminated.

(16) In the event of a consumer withdrawing from a contract where the price is entirely or partly covered by credit granted to the consumer by the trader or by a third party on the basis of an arrangement between that third party and the trader, the credit agreement should be terminated at no cost to the consumer. The same should apply to contracts for other related services provided by the trader or by a third party on the basis of an arrangement between that third party and the trader.

**********************************************************The Anfi Way*************************************************************

When guests bought a Timeshare, Anfi would usually move the guests on to the resort of Anfi Del Mar and charge the guests for doing so. This charge was then deducted from the purchase price of the Timeshare, and was charged on a separate invoice. The guests were told if they continued with the purchase after the withdrawal date, "their stay at Anfi was in effect free". This was the Anfi way of taking a deposit.

The wording in section (12) clearly states 'The exercise of the right of withdrawal should remain free of charge during that extended period regardless of what services consumers may have enjoyed.

*******In other words, when people did cancel the Timeshare, people who paid money for the moving into Anfi, should have been refunded.******

Having researched Timeshare Talk, I have read where Crown Resorts (Part of Diversified Resorts) have taken money on the day from their buyers. The monies taken has been for a separate package, but part of the purchase of a Timeshare. Crown Resorts (Members of TATOC) would in my humble opinion, also be breaching the 2 laws covering Timeshare in Spain.

**************************************************************************************************************


(19) In order to ensure that the protection afforded to consumers under this Directive is fully effective, in particular as regards compliance by traders with the information requirements both at the pre-contractual stage and in the contract, it is necessary that the Member States lay down effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties for infringements of this Directive.

The 2 laws governing Timeshare in Spain are quite specific and have been in existence now for 4 years and 7 months.

I will quote from the TATOC website where they proclaim on their 'Home' page, to be 'recognised as the authoritative voice of timeshare owners'.

From the TATOC 'Home' page.

TATOC's mission is "To safeguard and enhance the timeshare holiday experience for existing and prospective users and to be the voice of owners"

From the TATOC 'About' page.

Serving individual timeshare owners, owner committees, resorts, and reputable timeshare companies TATOC has developed into a significant force within the European timeshare industry.

Why don't TATOC ensure their RESORT members are abiding by the relevant laws in their daily activities when selling Timeshare?
I ask this because of ; Reply #8 on: October 21, 2016, 13:14:24 ; of this thread where I make a reference to Crown Resorts, and other issues I have researched on this and other websites.

EU Directive 122, (16/03/2012) THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (Continued)

EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, 16.12.2015 COM (2015) 644 final

REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL
Report on the evaluation of Directive 2008/122/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 January 2009 on the protection of consumers in respect of certain aspects of timeshare, long-term holiday product, resale and exchange contracts.

ENFORCEMENT OF THE DIRECTIVE
Enforcement issues by country of the consumer and trader

Around half of all complaints between 2007 and 2013 concerning timeshare and related products, registered by the ECC-Net database, were made by UK consumers. The overwhelming majority of consumer complaints registered by ECC-Net were lodged against traders based in Spain.

Available penalties

Enforcement procedures and penalties vary considerably from one Member State to another. Member States have discretion in how to comply with the Timeshare Directive with regard to providing effective enforcement means and imposing effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties to ensure compliance with its provisions by traders.

Penalties available to enforcement authorities in case of breaches of the Directive vary significantly among the Member States - from administrative fines of EUR 1 500 to fines in excess of EUR 100 000, or fines based on the annual turnover of the trader, e.g. up to 10 %.

Police investigation and criminal prosecution

In view of the high number of consumer complaints registered by various organisations, the penalties foreseen by national consumer laws do not appear to be efficient enough to discourage fraudulent traders. There is no EU-wide definition of "fraud" as a criminal offence; however, that does not seem to be a problem, as all Member States, under certain circumstances, qualify fraud as a criminal offence in their criminal law; this offence typically covers practices that have the objective of intentionally deceiving consumers and extorting money from them with no intention of providing the service, or providing the product with the characteristics that was promised. There is thus no indication of a need for an EU-wide definition of fraud, but rather there is a need for a more ambitious application of criminal law in that area. Member States therefore should be encouraged to take a more active approach regarding the investigation and prosecution of fraudulent practices.

In some Member States, investigating and prosecuting fraudulent traders involved in consumer scams does not seem to be a priority. When assessing the seriousness of such conduct the whole extent of the crime (including money laundering) and the possible involvement of criminal organizations should also be taken into account.

Consumer associations and business associations have been very active in assisting law enforcement authorities in investigating and prosecuting fraudulent conduct committed by companies. As a result of such assistance, some important criminal cases against fraudulent traders could be successfully launched.

The cross-border dimension of such fraudulent practices and the effectiveness of the measures taken by law enforcement authorities (police, prosecution services, courts) strongly depend on the successful functioning of the established criminal law cooperation between the competent authorities of Member States. Existing EU instruments for cooperation in criminal matters provide a comprehensive legal framework for this purpose. The Directive 2014/41/EU regarding the European Investigation Order in criminal matters will make it easier for judicial authorities to collect evidence from another EU Member State during any investigation. The investigative measures covered by this Directive include, for example, interviewing witnesses, obtaining information or evidence already in the possession of the executing authority, and (with additional safeguards) interception of telecommunications and information on - and monitoring of - bank accounts. As regards the prosecution stage, the European Arrest Warrant (established by Council Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA ) is a very effective tool for seeking the arrest and subsequent surrender of a requested person for the purposes of conducting a criminal prosecution or executing a custodial sentence or detention order.

Credit or debit card chargeback as remedy

Chargeback possibilities offered by providers of payment means have been identified as one of the most effective short-term ways of obtaining redress when the Timeshare Directive 2008/122/EC has been breached. It is a process that allows consumers to ask their credit or debit card provider to reverse a card transaction if there is a problem with the good or service purchased, especially if an illegal activity can be proven. Study has shown that it has been successfully used to ensure redress for consumers who were asked to make an advance payment and subsequently were refused to exercise their right of withdrawal. Directive 2007/64/EC on payment services in the internal market (PSD) and Directive 2008/48/EC on credit agreements for consumers (CCD) form the main legal bases of requesting a chargeback. With regard to chargeback for the non-conformity of goods or services, Article 15 59 of Directive 2008/48/EC applies, which covers credit card chargeback. Purchases where debit cards are used can, nevertheless, be covered by national law or by the operating rules of card companies. National consumer protection authorities and European Consumer Centres should, where appropriate, systematically advise consumers to ask banks for a chargeback, and as swiftly as possible since deadlines may apply.

2). the timeshare regime can only fall on a building, property set, or sector of them architecturally distinct. All independent units that comprise it, excepting the necessary premises, must be subject to that regime. It will be necessary that the set has at least ten accommodations. He is allowed, however, that a same set of real estate is subject, at the time, a regime of rights of use per shift and to another type of tourist exploitation, provided that rights of timeshare borne of specific accommodations forperiods of time.

For the purposes of advertising, marketing and transmission of the right of timeshare real estate, any other denomination may be used provided that you do not induce to confusion to the acquiring end and it falls off with clarity the nature, characteristics and legal and economic conditions of the right to enjoy.

6) contracts for lease of real estate rentals per season, which relate to more than one of them, anticipate or not corresponding to some or all seasons contracted rents, and any other contractual arrangements for more than a year, without setting up a real right relating to the use of one or more accommodations for overnight during more than one period of occupation they will be subject to the provisions of this title, without prejudice to the stipulated in the law 29/1994 of 24 November, tenancies, and general consumer protection legislation. Either you can be called timeshare or in any other manner containing the word property.

7). the contract by virtue of which constitute or convey any other rights, real or personal, for a time exceeding one year and concerning the use of one or more properties for a determined or determinable period a year, aside from this title, and with the sole exception of the provisions of the following paragraph, shall be null , and you must be returned to the purchaser or assignee any rents or satisfied considerations,as well as compensation for damages suffered.

1). the regulatory public deed of the timeshare regime must be expressed, at least the following circumstances:

1 the description of the farm on which constitutes exploitation regime shift and of the building or buildings that exist, with review of common services to the holders of the exploitations are entitled. If the construction is only begun, indicate the date limit for the completion of the same.

2nd the description of each of the accommodations that integrate each building, which will be a correlative with reference to the estate. If the property is earmarked tourist exploitation at the time that is on it a regime of exploitation by shift, will be determined what accommodations are likely to be encumbered with rights of use pershift and for what periods a year.

3rd in each accommodation designed to use shift will express the number, duration,indicating the day and start time and end, the quota corresponding to each shift with regard to accommodation, if previously constituted the horizontal division, or in relation to the total of the property, if it is not, furniture that is intended, as well as its value , and day of the year not configured as shifts of exploitation being reserved,in that housing, repairs and maintenance.

8th duration of the regime.

2) in addition shall incorporate writing, original or notary public testimony, the contract concluded with the company's services and the insurance contracts referred to in article 28. An authenticated copy of these for your file must accompany registration.

I saw the following on another Timeshare Companies website yesterday Wednesday 9th November 2016 (which I have taken a photo shoot of) which has the following included in their article

"The Law today, Law 42/1998 clearly states that contracts must last between a period of 3 & 50 years. In 2015 the Spanish Supreme Court announced the new ruling, stating that life timeshare contracts are declared illegal under perpetuity, this been a common practice at the Anfi Resort. The Majority of timeshare owners at the resort are owners from Germany, the UK and Scandinavia."

The Law covering the 2 Court Cases versus Anfi relate to purchases made in 2004 and 2009 and the website correctly points out that Law 42/1998 was in force at the time of the purchases. HOWEVER, the quote above is INCORRECT in that Law 42/1998 does not cover Timeshare being sold in Spain today, BUT the Law 'Real Decreto-ley 8/2012' does.

The quote of "that contracts must last between a period of 3 & 50 years" is also incorrect.

Look and check for your selves.

1.INTRODUCTION
This report provides an assessment of the application of Directive 2008/122/EC (the Timeshare Directive) in Member States and evaluates its effects.
The 2008 Timeshare Directive repealed former Directive 94/47/EC 1 and modernised its provisions in order to deal with the emergence of new products in the travel market. It covers a broader range of holiday-related services characterised by long-term commitments or significant financial risks for consumers, namely:
- timeshare contracts, of more than one year under which a consumer, for consideration, acquires the right to use overnight accommodation for more than one period of occupation;
- contracts for long-term holiday products by which a consumer, for consideration, acquires the right to obtain benefits in respect of accommodation, either in isolation or together with travel or other services (such as membership in 'discount holiday clubs', which offer discounts on travel and accommodation in different resorts for a fixed period of time);
- exchange contracts under which a consumer, for consideration, joins a system that allows him to enjoy overnight accommodation or other services in exchange for granting others, on a temporary basis, access to the benefits of the rights arising from his own timeshare contract;
- resale contracts under which a trader, for consideration, assists a timeshare owner to resell his timeshare rights or long-term holiday product.

I did work in the Timeshare industry until 7th September 2015. I do not NOW work in the Timeshare Industry, Holiday Clubs or any product to do with holidays what so ever. I also DO NOT work in any profession or for any company which has any connections to do with Timeshare, holidays or any product similar.
My postings are only in relation to my own personal experiences and knowledge of the Timeshare industry.

EU Directive 122, (16/03/2012) THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (Continued)

EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, 16.12.2015 COM (2015) 644 final

REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL
Report on the evaluation of Directive 2008/122/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 January 2009 on the protection of consumers in respect of certain aspects of timeshare, long-term holiday product, resale and exchange contracts.

CONCLUSIONS
Based on the above findings, the Commission draws the following conclusions concerning the application of the Directive:

.Regarding aspects of the timeshare, long-term holiday product, resale and exchange contracts falling within its scope, the Timeshare Directive appears overall to be a useful tool in protecting consumers in this specific holiday sector.

.Regarding aspects falling outside its scope (such as termination of contracts) problems still occur. However, the analysis shows that these aspects can be successfully addressed through targeted interventions at national level, efficient self-regulatory measures and a better enforcement of other relevant EU consumer law instruments.

.Specific attention must nonetheless be given to legal constructions and practices aimed at circumventing the Directive. The Consumer Rights Directive, the Unfair Contract Terms Directive and the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive can all help to address such circumventions. The revised guidance for the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive will, amongst other things, address the interaction between it and the Timeshare Directive.

.At this stage, there seems to be no need to modify either the scope or the provisions of the Directive.

.In order to render the Directive more effective, there is a need to encourage national enforcement authorities to focus on certain business practices and traders. This is particularly the case for Spain, which is involved in half of all complaints reported to European Consumer Centres across the EU, Iceland and Norway.

.Where a conduct points towards criminal law, law enforcement authorities should be quickly informed with a view to launching criminal investigations. The cross-border dimension of fraudulent practices could be addressed more effectively by better use of the measures on criminal law cooperation, established between the law enforcement authorities of the Member States. Existing EU instruments for cooperation in criminal matters already provide a comprehensive legal framework for this purpose.

.Possible alternative ways of addressing existing problems, e.g. awareness-raising campaigns, self-regulation and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, all of which could also have a positive impact. In this respect, the European Consumer Centres have prepared a dedicated section on their websites with tips for consumers that will be launched soon.

.More comprehensive strategies of national consumer protection authorities could raise consumer awareness so as to ensure that their own citizens are more informed about potential scams. Prevention is the most effective way of protecting consumers. Research shows that legitimate businesses actively work on their reputation and want to be seen as being compliant with the EU regulatory regime. Associations representing these businesses and their clients draft codes of conduct, set up alternative dispute resolution mechanisms and cooperate with enforcement authorities when detecting fraudulent traders in this holiday sector.

.The Commission has taken the necessary actions under Article 258 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union in cases where a Member State failed to comply with its transposition obligations. The Commission will also exercise its powers under this article whenever a Member State fails to comply with its enforcement obligations. For this reason, the Commission services have begun a dialogue with Spain regarding the correct enforcement of the Directive.

.The Commission will further encourage Member States, where appropriate, to step up their enforcement actions, including via the Consumer Protection Cooperation network, and ensure the Directive's provisions are complied with in all Member States. Consideration will be given to further steps, such as targeted workshops with key stakeholders. If deemed appropriate in light of the amount and impact of activities that are undertaken at national level in response to this report, an additional evaluation on the overall state of application of the Directive could be issued in three years' time.

Failure to do so is a breach of the 2 laws and will make any contracts NULL & VOID.

On arrival at the resort where the presentation is to take place, if the reception staff fail to clarify you are attending a Timeshare/Holiday Club presentation, then they too have failed to comply with Law 4/2012 Article 7 Advertising (2). & E.U. DIRECTIVE 2008/122 Article 3 Advertising (2), again, any contracts will be NULL & VOID.

Once the presentation begins, you will be shown brochures and literature to support the presenter's sales presentation. You can ask the presenter for a copy of the material being shown (simply because the presenter has used the same to present their product) and if they fail to provide you with a copy, not only should alarm bells ring, BUT they have failed to comply with Law 4/2012 Article 8 'The Information requirements', and E.U. DIRECTIVE 2008/122 Article 4 'Pre-contractual Information' (Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the treaty (2) Numbers (9) & (10). Contracts are NULL & VOID.

If the word 'INVESTEMENT' is used during the Timeshare/Holiday Club presentation, then a breach of the 2 laws have occurred making the contracts NULL & VOID.

If the word 'property' appears during the Timeshare/Holiday Club presentation or in the contracts, then a breach of the 2 laws have occurred making the contracts NULL & VOID.

If you are told "you can take as many Extra Weeks (Bonus Weeks) as you want", ask the presenter/sales person for an audited copy showing how many were available in recent years. Keep this copy presented to you.

During the presentation of Timeshare/Holiday Club, the presenter must provide the guest with a written copy of the last 5 years of what any 'Service Charges' (Maintenance Fees) were.

If you are at Anfi Del Mar on a presentation, and sitting with a presenter who has a blue identity badge, then they have worked there for a good number of years and even have 'some' protection from the union representing 'some' workers at Anfi. The orange badge holder would appear to have 'no rights'. I say this because of my early post relating to 'Abuse of Authority by the British Cold Line Sales manager', 'Threats of violence', 'Health & Safety violations', Employment Laws breached', 'training given to new representatives which circumvented the Spanish Timeshare Act Law 4/2012 and the E.U. Directive 122 of 2008', and 'Thomas Cook Representatives also circumventing these 2 laws'. Thomas Cook also provides other TATOC/RDO resorts/companies with guests to attend presentations.

Any Holiday product you are presented with for purchase and if IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, EXCEEDS 12 MONTHS, then it is covered by the 2 laws, Timeshare Act, Spain 4/2012 & E.U. DIRECTIVE 2008/122. (I wonder if Anfi are still using 11 months for their 2/3/4/5 week 'trial membership'. If the purchaser had not 'upgraded' to a full membership within the 11 months period, they then had 18 months of using RCI Extra Weeks'. This 'pitch' was used to circumvent the 2 laws, however. 11 months and 18 months equals 29 months. 29 months is more than 12 months, so therefore the product is failing to comply with the 2 laws).
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
(9) Directive 2005/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2005 concerning unfair business-to-consumer commercial practices in the internal market (Unfair Commercial Practices Directive) (5) prohibits misleading, aggressive and other unfair commercial business-to-consumer practices

Under NO circumstances can any money be taken what so ever, regardless of any reason given and this also includes no monies to be taken for a third party.
(E.U Directive 122/2008, (16) The same should apply to contracts for other related services provided by the trader or by a third party on the basis of an arrangement between that third party and the trader. Real Decreto-ley 8/2012, de 16 de Marzo. Part 2: General information: During this period of withdrawal, any payment of advances by the consumer is prohibited. Affects ban to any consideration, including payment, the Constitution of guarantees, reservation of money on accounts, explicit acknowledgement of debt, etc. It includes not only payment to the trader, but also to third parties.)

If your purchase a Timeshare, the contracts should specifically state what week number and which apartment number. Failure to state these in the contract makes the contract NULL & VOID.

Any existing Timeshare/Holiday Contracts which was signed before Law 4/2012 came into force (16th March 2012) and has 'not adapted' (been changed to comply with law 4/2012) are NULL & VOID. (Why would someone pay to get out of a contract which is NOT NOW, a legal binding contract).

Many Timeshare/Holiday Club contract were signed before Law 4/2012 (16th March 2012) and included "summary of the main services that can be enjoyed by the consumer", in other words, Maintenance Dees. If the original contract stated the 'Service Charges' (Maintenance Fees) included 'Water & Electricity' in the Service Charges (Maintenance Fees), then you have already paid for water and electricity in those charges. If you have not signed an amended contract, or received a Resort 'Committee's' amendment to these charges being itemised as being paid separately from the 'service Charges' (Maintenance Fees), then why are you being asked to pay for the water and electricity again when you arrive for your holiday? Some resorts are charging for water and electricity when you are on holiday.

CHAPTER V

Legal regime

Article 16. Mandatory.

1). consumers may not waive the rights that are recognized in this Royal Decree-law.

2). the waiver of the rights recognized by this Royal Decree-law to consumers is zero, being likewise null the acts performed on fraud law, in accordance with provisions of article 6 of the Civil Code.

Any existing Spanish Timeshare/Holiday Contracts which were signed before Law 4/2012 came into force (16th March 2012) and has 'not adapted' (been changed to comply with law 4/2012) are NULL & VOID.
Why would someone pay to get out of a contract which is NOT NOW legal and binding contract?

I am aware people may have purchased Timeshare in recent years and have in fact been 'miss-sold' or have signed contracts which are NOT LEGALLY binding, and wish to seek recompense for

My comments "why would someone pay to get out of a contract which is NOT NOW, a legal binding contract" is due to the following.

We have all read articles on the website which refer to elderly people who bought Timeshare in the 1980's and 1990's, who after many years of happily using their Timeshare, are now too ill or frail to use the Timeshare.

A report I read specifically quoted an elderly couple who owned their Timeshare with Macdonald resorts in Spain. For more than 10 years the elderly couple had been unable to use their Timeshare due to ill health. Although they were unable to use their Timeshare, Mcdonald Resorts were still charging them Maintenance Fees and had in fact sent in 'the debt collectors'.

If you signed a Timeshare contract before 16th March 2012 (Law 4/2012) came into force, it is highly likely that your contract does not comply with the SPANISH Timeshare Acts in force TODAY.

An example is, you bought your Timeshare in 1990. The SPANISH contract states you own your entitlement 'in perpetuity' (or more than 50 Years). As soon as Law 4/2012 came into force (16th March 2012), then the company were LEGALLY OBLIGATED 'TO ADAPT' (change your contracts) to comply with Law 4/2012. If your 'old' contract contains the word 'property', then this "little" word will also make your old contract NOT NOW a legal binding contract.

By failing to change your contracts WITH YOUR AGREEMENT and SIGNATURES, then the company have failed to comply with LAW 4/2012.

If this is the case with your old ownership, you can freely walk away as you are NOT NOW legally bound to pay your Maintenance Fees.

'Pure' Points are not legal in Spanish Timeshare contracts.

'Floating' Weeks are not legal in Spanish Timeshare contracts.

The Official Journal of the European Union dated 14th January 2009, with regards to the Directive 2008/122/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council article 12;

Article 12
Imperative nature of the Directive and application in international cases

1. Member States shall ensure that, where the law applicable to the contract is the law of a Member State, consumers may not waive the rights conferred on them by this Directive.

2. Where the applicable law is that of a third country, consumers shall not be deprived of the protection granted by this Directive, as implemented in the Member State of the forum if:
- any of the immovable properties concerned is situated within the territory of a Member State, or,
- in the case of a contract not directly related to immovable property, the trader pursues commercial or professional activities in a Member State or, by any means, directs such activities to a Member State and the contract falls within the scope of such activities.

A 'third country' is a NON MEMBER STATE such as Russia, Ukraine ect.

TATOC are the 'Consumer Association' allegedly acting on behalf of CONSUMERS who own Timeshare.

Have TATOC ever advised a consumer of a pre Law 4/2012 contract which was not 'adapted' (Changed to conform with both Spanish Law 4/2012 and EU Directive 122/2008) that their old contract was NOW NULL and VOID and they could walk away from any Service Charges (Maintenance Fees)?

If TATOC have not advised the consumer of this, will they be advising the consumers in the future?
