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 week way back in the early ’90s at Puerta Calma resort in Puerto Rico in Gran Canaria. I paid over £8k and it came with 2 years free fees.
Roughly 6 months after the purchase I realised it would be of no use to me. I contacted the resort repeatedly informing them I did not need the week I purchased and could refund my money or as the management of the resort could they resell it for me. I never got a response to my numerous requests.
Then I started to get invoices for the annual fees. Again I contacted them again I was ignored. In voices kept coming for several years then stopped and I’ve heard nothing since! I honestly believe I was robbed of the £8k?
