My father died in January and we received a bill from a timeshare company in Malta asking for £175 maintenance fee. As my mother new nothing of it we wrote to them, explained the situation and asked for a copy of the contracts so we knew what we were dealing with and to confirm the request for payment was genuine.

We kept receiving bills from them and finally at the end of September they wrote back (after 3 letters from us) to say that they couldn't provide any signed contracts or copies of any paperwork and demanding a copy of my fathers will to pass it on to his beneficiaries. They also stated they would waive the late payment fee's (once the full fee was paid), during which time they sent my elderly mother a bill for £495!

Do we have any rights about this? We have no proof as to what my father signed up to and they are telling my elderly mother she has to pay them nearly £200 a year until 2021 which is making her worry even more.
