I have been cold-called by a claims company saying I have a claim on a Marriott timeshare I bought in 2010, it’s a Spanish contract / floating week that are apparently illegal now they tell me ??
They want a £5000 upfront fee so pretty sure they are scammers.
I would like some advice on if any of this is true and if I have a claim or not.

Dear Rebecca,
The advice you have received regarding a Spanish contract and that the timeshare is a floating week is correct, there is a high probability that you can claim as these contracts are indeed illegal in Spain, (subject to a timeshare legal expert review of documents & history). One of the Spanish court rulings implemented in 2015 to protect timeshare consumers is that contracts must include specific information regarding the property.
Regarding the way you were approached and the fees, many of the 3rd party timeshare claims companies operate this way both good and bad. If I may point out that court costs often exceed £5,000 depending on what is required.
