Customers at a site in Lossiemouth, Scotland, are waiting to hear whether they actually own the caravans they believed they had paid for.
According to the Press and Journal, a number of people handed over thousands of pounds for mobile homes at Silver Sands Leisure Park.
However, a fraud investigation by Grampian police has revealed that a number may have been duped, with several having been given hand-written receipts.
Around 70 customers had a meeting with the directors of Green Parcs - the firm that owns the site - where they were asked to submit paperwork to help establish the truth.
A number of customers had claimed ownership of the same caravan, but Green Parcs director Deepak Johar promised the matter would be cleared up within two months.
However, this was not good enough for one customer, who told the newspaper: "It's been seven weeks now. I just want to get rid of the caravan and have nothing more to do with the place."
The news comes after the publication reported on a separate campsite - Arbroath's Red Lion Caravan Park - which knocked back a family as their camper was a brand often associated with travellers.
