Hi.

We even upgraded with them.
We tried to book holidays all over the world but we’re repeatedly told no vacancies.

I have been contacted by someone reporting to be from the Spanish court administration informing me that a claim for mis-selling has been award and that I have funds waiting to be released to me after I pay the court registration fee – is this a scam?

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?

I bought a timeshare in Malta which had a 25 year ‘contract’ which was fine. But in Jan 2012, I was offered free holiday in Tenerife, only condition being that I would attend a presentation I was not allowed to take my friend in with me and the culmination was that I ended up paying £3400 to exchange to a point system. I later discovered that this contract was in perpetuity, and I have never used it during the last 9 years due to severe mental health issues . My son has used it once . We are paying out money for something we don’t use. What can I do?

My timeshare resort was damaged by Hurricane Sally in 2020 and as repairs are being made they remain closed during my fixed week. I own 3 weeks and have paid over $3000. In maintenance fees for 2021. Now I’ve been told they have already rescheduled as many as they can and have no availability left for future reservations. And I will just lose my weeks. Although they are not refunding my maintenance fees. Shouldn’t the resort have to compensate the timeshare owners for their loss? The damage previously mentioned is being covered by insurance.
Thank you.
