No defence to licence withdrawal
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.CLUB RIVIERA, the controversial timeshare company based in Manchester, is not defending the action brought by the Office of Fair Trading to revoke its consumer credit licence.
On 26 June the Director-General of Fair Trading issued notices to the Club Riviera group of companies that he was minded to revoke their consumer credit licences.
Simon Clarke, sales and marketing director of Club Riviera, said this week: 'We are not defending it. We have not offered finance to our clients for over a year, so revoking the consumer credit licence makes no difference to us whatsoever.'
Mr Clarke added that it was 'business as usual' and that the companies would continue to sell timeshare.
