This first piece of information from one of our readers, (although the same information has been received in the past), concerns the “FAKE” law firm in Tenerife Abogados Canarias, part of the ongoing fraud known as the Litigious Abogados family.
This particular reader had been contacted by this outfit with news that their timeshare company was being taken to court (as usual), that they could be part of this action. All they needed to do was pay a fee for the procurator to file their case with the rest.
Luckily this reader decided to search the internet about this “law firm”, lo and behold found the article published here on Inside Timeshare, they then contacted us for further information, which as usual we gave free of charge.
We even warned them that this “FAKE” law firm would say that Inside Timeshare are the scammers! Not bad considering none of our readers are ever charged for any information or help given.
Well they decided to accept the return call as arranged, Yes you guessed it, they told the reader exactly what we had warned. They even told them that they had taken Inside Timeshare to court SIX TIMES last year!
Well myself and my lawyers memories must be going, as we can’t remember going to court ONCE, let alone SIX times.
Just to let you know at Abogados Canarias, all information supplied by our readers has and will be passed to the authorities to augment the denuncia made in February 2017 against your original “FAKE” law firms!
Another piece of interesting information has been supplied by our readers, this time it is concerning Diamond Resorts, it would appear that they are upsetting many of their members. (Well nothing new there!)
It now transpires that any members family using as guests, below that of Platinum is going to have to pay to use the WiFi, Swimming pool and other facilities on the European sites!
Apparently, the cost for using the pool is around £6 per day per person, not going to be a cheap holiday then, considering the extortionate maintenance fees associated with Diamond. It makes you wonder why you pay the high cost of membership in the first place along with the ongoing annual fees, when this happens?
Also is this just another ploy to “Upgrade” members to Platinum?
According to the information provided, it has nothing to do with Apollo, as they are only an “Investment Company” and has nothing to do with the day to day running of Diamond!
Hang on they Own Diamond, surly anything that Diamond management do which upsets the members, bringing bad publicity to the public eye, will have a detrimental effect on the share prices and thus on the “Investment”?
Well, all we can say is, timeshare is not the great thing is used to be, it has become nothing more than a money making machine that does not care about you the member. After all they got your money to join, they now get your money each year and if they can find another way to get more of it, they will!
We now move on to Silverpoint with another update.
We published recently the article on Centaurus Mediation SL, contacting Silverpoint members offering a relinquishment service, it also seemed that they were using the members data supplied by Silverpoint. We also stated that there was another company which had also been set up but no name had yet come forth.
The latest information provided by yet another reader is that Excel have taken the marketing contract from Silverpoint due to their bad practices. (Something we have known for years).
Apparently this was told to our reader by a representative from another company called Aspirantco, which we believe is part owned by Excel.
Excel is the management company behind all the resorts.
Aspirantco SL was registered 23/08/2017 with the company address given as Avda San Francisco 6 – Centro Comercial Pasarela, 38640 – (Arona) – Santa Cruz De Tenerife. The registered administrator is named as Carl Alan Jenkins, who is believed to have worked with Mark Cushway and Silverpoint for around 10 years. With the sales office apparently located at Port Royale another resort run by Excel and across the road from the Beverly Hills Club.

ASPIRANTCO SL, SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE
Could this be the one?
From other information supplied Mr Jenkins is also Project Director for a Tenerife Real Estate Company called Homes Under the Sun, which does not appear to have any known ties with the timeshare industry.
Further information has been uncovered on 12 companies in the UK where Mark Cushway is the registered director. 10 of the companies were registered on 24 June 2016 and 2 registered on 29 July 2016. All have the same registered address for the director as 1 Bedford Row, London, England, WC1R 4BZ.
All the companies have the same name apart from a number attached such as TLCC-20 LIMITED (10250781) and TLCC-52 LIMITED (10250807). The occupation given for Mark Cushway on the entries is Leisure and Real Estate, with his country of residence as Spain.
All companies are listed as 55209 – Other holiday and other collective accommodation, it is also interesting to note that the registered offices are given as Twin Lakes Country Club, Near Arnside And Silverdale Aonb, Tewitfield, Lancashire, LA6 1JH.
