TIMESHARE COMPLAINTS – The Orange County Consumer Protection Office does not have authority over timeshares/vacation clubs. Timeshare complaints should be directed to the Florida Dept. of Business & Professional Regulation, Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes.

Make an attempt to speak with the business manager or owner. Many businesses are eager to resolve complaints and keep customers happy.

For complaints submitted to our office, it will be assigned to staff for review. Our office may then:

• Request the business to respond to your complaint
• Refer your complaint to the appropriate state or federal agency
• Make a site visit to the business location to ensure compliance

For complaints submitted to outside agencies, please contact the agency directly if you have any questions about its process.

While we are often able to assist consumers in resolving their disputes, our office does not:

• Provide any legal advice
• Represent consumers in legal actions
• Force or order a business to provide a specific resolution

If your complaint about a business is a civil dispute, you may wish to consult with an attorney regarding your legal remedies. If you have questions about hiring an attorney, you may call the Florida Bar
at (850) 561-5600.

The Consumer Protection Office can provide speakers for your meetings and events. Topics we can provide information on include unfair business practices, fraud, professional licensing, and identity theft.

Please call (407) 836-4238 to request a speaker.
