Campaigners have called on the UK government to take action on the “wild west” holiday park industry, as nearly 2,000 people join a group legal action alleging they have lost thousands of pounds on mis-sold static caravans and unfair pitch fees.
‘Wild west’ UK holiday park industry facing legal action over mis-sold caravans Group claims compensation after allegedly losing thousands from over-inflated caravan prices and pitch fees.
Holiday Park Action Group, which is leading the legal action, says the number of claimants is growing by the day, with people reporting losing their life savings and being forced to sell their homes after losing large sums of money.
Away Resorts said the holiday park industry, like many others, had faced economic challenges, which had led to increased operational costs and the need to increase pitch fees.
Their group legal action, which is expected to be heard later this year, involves two legal claims – one against “unfair and legally unenforceable” pitch fees, which they claim holiday parks increase at extortionate rates and without proper communication.
