I have a timeshare at Westgate and after my husband passed away I could no longer afford it. I struggled and paid off the mortgage but have not paid the maintenance for 5years they are now chasing me for €7500. I feel let down by them as they totally lied when they sold us the weeks.

Hello, I wonder whether you have any experience/knowledge of the Wimpen Leisure Management group for ElMarques in Tenerife. We owned three weeks at this resort which were purchased in 1995. Wimpen created a holding company so members could transfer their ownership at a cost (we paid £1000) to this holding company if they no longer wanted their timeshare. We did this and have received a letter confirming this relinquishment and stating that we have no past or future responsibility. This week I have been contacted by a legal company advising me that this may not be legally binding and offering to legally relinquish us for a cost of £6/7000. This has freaked me out and I don’t know who to turn to. Can you help?

Melia has reduced the number of properties that I signed up for from 9 to 5 properties, am I still obligated to see this contract through?
