Group claims compensation after allegedly losing thousands from over-inflated caravan prices and pitch fees

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.

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.
