Festiva Settlement Update

Festiva Settlement Update

Looking for information regarding the outcome of Reeves, et. al v. Zealandia Holding Company, Inc? Here is the latest on the status of the settlement – as well as some guidance on how to obtain the necessary information to answer any further questions you may have.

District Judge John Antoon approved the settlement agreement on October 25, 2016.  The “Effective Date” of the settlement was December 1, 2016.

For class members who chose the Vacation Benefit Option, Festiva mailed out vacation certificates in the last week of December. Remember that the number of certificates that you will receive depends on the amount that your RCI Points allocation was reduced.

 

For class members who chose the Deedback Option, Festiva expects to mail the paperwork by the end of January, 2017. It must send out the necessary forms and information during the first quarter of 2017 at the latest.

RCI bonus weeks will be available for use on approximately January 31, 2017.

For the terms of the settlement, including more details on the common fund, bonus weeks, and the Vacation Benefit and Deedback options, we encourage you to refer back to the Class Notice and Settlement Agreement, which was previously mailed to all class members and is available online for your convenience here.

That document also contains important information regarding maintenance fees, which we realize are a concern for many as we move into 2017. Questions 9 and 11 on the notice primarily address the 2017 maintenance fees; in short, the question of whether you are required to your 2017 maintenance fees depends on which option you chose under the settlement, or whether you plan on using any RCI Points or your current week in 2017 or any future year.

For more information on the settlement, we have all of the pertinent paperwork collected here.

Thank you for your patience. Don’t hesitate to drop us a line with any further questions or concerns.

Finn Law Firm's Client Reviews & Testimonials

Based on 151 reviews
Finn Law went to bat for us to close unwanted timeshares we inherited. The paralegal was very helpful and apprised us of the work they did to ensure we had nothing to worry about! So we are very grateful!
Louise, we are delighted to have an opportunity to brag about Finn Law Group. Finn Law Group et all provided my wife and I a great deal of confidence we had contacted the right organization to help us work through our time-share-nightmare. Their frequent updates ensured us that the firm was working our case diligently and we appreciated their communication as thet continued to work for us. For anyone who reads this review please realize that resolving these issues with time-share companies is not a quick fix overnight. But, I want to assure you that you would be hard pressed to find a more qualified company to represent you. Our case was resolved to our satisfaction and as Finn Law group represented themselves. Their fee is a small price to pay for the peace of mind they provided us. I cannot recommend them strongly enough. Time share free and so thankful to the Finn Law Group.

Best wishes to all at Finn and thank you. Mike and Vickie
I contacted Finn Law Group in 2023 to get out of my timeshare. I was very pleased in how they communicated with me throughout this long and difficult process. Thank you Finn Law Group for ending my timeshare.
I found Finn Law Group in July 2019 when I couldn’t find a way to get rid of my timeshare. It had been given as a gift and I realized a few years later that it was not something I should have agreed to take on. After calling the timeshare directly to have them buy back or take it back, they simply replied that they don’t do such things. I searched online for timeshare attorneys and found Finn Law Group. Mr. Finn and his team put me at ease and said they would work with me to get rid of the timeshare but made sure to tell me that it would take time. With COVID hitting less than a year later, it set the timeline back considerably. Finally, I got the call from Louise in January 2026 saying that the timeshare had been taken back and I was free and clear. It was one of the best calls I’ve ever received in recent memory. After securing the group’s services in 2019, Louise stuck with me and kept me updated and protected. I cannot thank her and everybody at Finn Law Group enough for their help with this matter. I highly recommend Mr. Finn, Louise, and everyone at Finn Law Group for their services. It was a long and nerve-wracking journey, but they succeeded and I’m eternally grateful. THANK YOU!
Finn Law Group helped get me out of my timeshare. Even though my timeshare wasn’t in Florida, they still assisted and finally got me out of this timeshare. I should have contacted them long ago.
Louise I just want to thank you and Finn Law Group for helping me resolving my timeshare matter

I would definitely recommend Finn Law Firm to anyone needing help with a timeshare termination.

We contacted Finn Law Group about getting out of our timeshare and were so happy with the advice they gave us. Instead of charging us, they told us exactly what steps to take with our timeshare company, and it worked! In the end, we were able to get released from our contract for a fraction of what we thought it would cost. We really appreciate their honesty and guidance and would definitely recommend them.
