Learners sometimes confuse "recourse" with "resource" or "resort." "Recourse" is usually about an action (turning to someone for help), often in the pattern "have recourse to [something]." Do not say *"recourse of"* or *"recourse for"* in this sense. Also, avoid using it for places of fun or holidays; that is "resort."

Learners may use "recourse" here as if it meant any complaint. In legal and financial contexts, it specifically means a right to claim payment or a remedy, especially in fixed phrases like "with recourse" and "without recourse." Also, "non-recourse" modifies "loan" and does not mean "no help" in general situations.
