Sunny Coast Malta and Network Credit Services threatening debt collection following death of relative

[evans1975]

Good evening,

My auntie used to own a timeshare with Sunny Coast Malta and died over 4 years ago.

 

Since then her sister (my auntie) and my dad have been receiving debt collection letters for the annual maintenance fees for the timeshare.

 

They were not aware that the timeshare would become their responsibility in the event of her death

and have not signed anything in respect to the ongoing fees or use of the timeshare.

 

Since her death they have been ignoring the charges.

 

Just recently they have now started to receive letters from Network Credit Services threatening further debt collection.

 

Please could anyone advise what steps they should now be taking?

 

Should they just continue to ignore?

 

Any advice would be fantastic as it is getting to a point where my auntie is starting to feel ill with it all.

 

Many thanks in anticipation

either totally ignore

 

 

or send a copy of her death cert

 

 

they should not be sending the letters

 

 

the debt is dead went with the owner.

what you have are very lowlife DCA's trying to spoof people

Do you have the paperwork and contract for the timeshare? That would be the first place to look for a means of getting out of the contract, but in many cases selling the timeshare can be the only way of freeing you unless there is a handback clause.

 

Perpetuity clauses can be an absolute nightmare - many simply do not realise that the responsibility can often fall to dependants and walking away often still does not necessarily free you from the responsibility.
