Campaigners in the UK, led by the Holiday Park Action Group, are seeking government intervention in the holiday park industry, which has come under scrutiny due to claims regarding mis-sold static caravans and exorbitant pitch fees. Nearly 2,000 individuals have joined a group legal action, citing financial ruin due to inflated caravan prices and excessive pitch fee increases. Many claimants lost life savings, prompting a call for accountability in an industry described as lawless. The legal action is set to address unfair fees and misrepresentation of caravan values, highlighting ongoing consumer concerns.
Carole Keeble, the group's founder, stated, 'Nobody controls this industry. It's like the wild west, they're free to do what they like, how they like. People losing their life savings that is the norm.'
The group is claiming compensation from companies that they allege sold caravans for overinflated prices, as well as sites that drastically increased pitch fees.
Their group legal action, expected to be heard later this year, involves two legal claims regarding unfair pitch fees and misrepresentation of caravan values.
People have no money left, they can't believe they've lost everything. It’s just a relentless financial strain.
