Hi, I bought a timeshare at Island Village many years ago (about 1985) we paid around 5k for 2 weeks and we used it maybe 3 times. We started to receive demands for annual maintenance fees and at the time we couldn’t afford to pay them so we let things lapse. I still have the title deeds for the two weeks, do I still have the rights to sell these?

My timeshare in Puerto Rico is in bankruptcy. I have defined weeks that I own. Currently only way to get any week is a request 6 months in advance, can I stop paying maintenance since the weeks I purchased are not automatically available each year.

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?

A timeshare paid for with a loan when paid off. Who owns it, the loan company or the ‘purchaser’. That is, is the seller paid for it upfront via the loan company, so the seller no longer owns it? So then who does? The purchaser with the contract with the seller or the loan company? Thank you.

My partner and I have a timeshare with Heritage. My partner passed away in February and I want to sell it. When I contacted Heritage they told me to contact a company called leisure and travel. I did this and they told me they would sell it for £5000 and I would get maintenance fees and £499 which I had to pay for advertising for 6 months. They contacted me and have now suggested they advertise it as open to offer and I needed to pay ad additional £349 to continue advertising. Is there an easier way to sell.

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.

We bought this in 2014 and have had a number of companies getting us out – my question is there any way I can check if we are out as we don’t get any maintenance bills and have had no contact with them since 2017

is there any website I can check?

Dear Robert,

For some strange reason we cannot fix the problem of answering this question so I have the response here from a lawyer who specialises in current Silverpoint cases.

Dear Robert,

The liquidation of Silverpoint is very complicated and there is not a website you can find out this information, you would need to appoint Spanish legal representation to investigate. Having said that even though the maintenance bills have stopped, you still have a right to a possible claim (will depend on what you purchased from Silverpoint). If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us.
