Dear former HGVC member:
I am writing to inform you that Unite Here Local 5, the hotel workers union, has recently launched an investigation of Hilton Grand Vacation Club timeshare and sales operations. We are extremely interested consulting with you about your experience with HGVC marketing and sales.
Generally, Hawaii law regulates the manner in which timeshares are sold. HRS 514E; HAR 16-106. We want to find out whether any laws were violated when you purchased your timeshare. Some important questions we would like to ask you include:
· Did the sales agent misrepresent your rights when you purchased your timeshare?
· Did the timeshare booth have proper signage; was it clearly labeled as a timeshare booth?
· Were you given literature offering prizes to speak with timeshare sales employees without disclosing the purpose of the prizes was to solicit timeshare sales? Do you know whether the literature was filed with the Department of Consumer Affairs; did it contain the proper disclosures?
If the sale of your timeshare violated Hawaii law you may be entitled to void the sale. Chapter 514E-11.3 of Hawaii Revised Statues states:
Every sale or transfer made in violation of this chapter shall be voidable at the election of the purchaser. Without limiting any other remedy of the purchaser, the person making the sale or transfer and every director, officer, or agent of or for the seller, if the director, officer, or agent has personally participated or aided in any way in making the sale, transfer, or solicitation, shall be jointly and severally liable to the purchaser in any action at law in any court of competent jurisdiction upon tender of the time share interest sold, or of the contract made, for the full amount paid by the purchaser, with interest at the rate of ten per cent a year from the date of payment by the purchaser, together with all taxable court costs and reasonable attorney's fees, less a pro rata portion of the amount paid representing the portion of any benefits the purchaser actually received or had the right to receive during the time preceding tender.
Please contact us immediately to discuss the details of your situation. We would like to talk to you even if you no longer own your timeshare.
Best regards,
