Anfi, Diamond, CLC, Silverpoint, Marriott Europe, Macdonald, Holiday Club, Petchey, Wyndham Europe — whichever resort has your name on the paperwork, we end the contract. Stop bleeding money into maintenance fees that climb every year. No courtroom. No "costas" risk. No smoke and mirrors.
The old giants are falling. Silverpoint went into liquidation. Club La Costa (CLC World) sales operations scaled back dramatically. Diamond Resorts Europe was swallowed by private equity and restructured. Anfi Group is in bankruptcy administration and under criminal investigation. Many smaller resorts are quietly shutting their sales offices while maintenance bills still land on your doormat.
Meanwhile, the Spanish Supreme Court has formally admitted Anfi's appeal against the Las Palmas Provincial Court ruling that voided "floating week" contracts. If the Court rules in the developer's favour, owners currently in litigation — or thinking about filing — could end up on the losing side.
Under Spanish civil procedure, the losing party normally pays the winner's legal costs ("costas procesales") — typically €8,000–€25,000+. And when a developer is insolvent, even winning owners join a long queue of unsecured creditors and rarely see a cent.
Relinquishment sidesteps the courtroom entirely. No lawsuit. No "costas". No waiting in the bankruptcy queue. Just a clean, documented, permanent exit from your contract — whichever resort you bought from.
No court. No counter-claim. No "costas". A transparent fixed fee, 90–180 day timeline, signed contract termination — and your maintenance fees stop for good.
European maintenance fees rose on average more than 12% between 2022 and 2023, and are projected to climb again in 2026. A proper relinquishment ends every obligation — permanently.
European owners pay €1,000–€5,000 per year on average, rising 5–10% annually. Our relinquishments end every recurring fee — in writing, permanently, with full legal backing.
Under Spanish law contracts over 50 years are unenforceable. We end "lifetime" and inheritable contracts cleanly, without litigating.
Avoid the Spanish loser-pays rule entirely. You never enter a courtroom, so you can never be ordered to pay the developer's costs.
No more surprise €3,000 "renovation", "refurbishment" or "insurance" bills landing in your post every spring.
Stop the contract passing to your children. End it cleanly and permanently, while the option is still on the table.
A single transparent fee, agreed up front in writing — far less than a single year of continued maintenance bills. No hidden charges, no drip-fed extras.
A predictable, transparent process — built around the 2026 European legal landscape.
We analyse your contract, purchase history and developer — and tell you honestly whether you qualify for relinquishment.
Your specialist selects the optimal non-litigious route: direct surrender, negotiated deed-back, or structured release.
We handle the developer directly — negotiating, drafting, and executing the release. No court. No "costas". You don't lift a finger.
You receive signed confirmation your contract is terminated. Maintenance fees stop. You — and your heirs — are free.
"Our Silverpoint week in Tenerife had become a nightmare — rising fees, falling service. ExitNow relinquished the contract in 112 days. Total peace of mind."
"I'd tried a 'resale' company and a 'cancellation' firm — both scams. ExitNow was the first honest conversation I'd had in five years. My CLC points are gone. My fees are gone."
"I was about to sue Anfi when ExitNow explained the "costas" risk. Six months later my contract was gone — without ever setting foot in a courtroom."
"Diamond Resorts sold me a 'lifetime' points contract in 2008 — I'd paid more in fees than the original price. Relinquished in four months. Extraordinary relief."
"Marriott Playa Andaluza was lovely, but the fees doubled in ten years. Didn't want a court battle at my age. ExitNow made the whole thing quiet and professional."
"Macdonald Resorts kept sending bigger bills for refurbishments we'd never use. ExitNow cancelled the lot. Best decision we've made in retirement."
Relinquishment is the legal, permanent surrender of your timeshare contract back to the developer — properly documented, recorded, and enforceable. Unlike a resale or transfer scheme, you don't pass your problem to a stranger; the contract itself ends.
Yes. Once the relinquishment is recorded with the resort/developer, all recurring maintenance fees, club dues and special assessments cease — permanently. We provide signed documentation as proof.
The Spanish Supreme Court has admitted Anfi's appeal against the Las Palmas Provincial Court ruling that voided "floating week" contracts. That matters for every European owner, because under Spanish civil procedure the losing party pays the winner's legal costs ("costas procesales"). If the Supreme Court sides with Anfi, owners who sued — or are currently suing — could be ordered to pay Anfi's legal bill, often €8,000–€25,000+. And because Anfi is in bankruptcy administration, even a winning judgment rarely means collecting the money. Relinquishment avoids the courtroom entirely, which is why we recommend it as the safest exit in 2026.
Yes — very different. A lawsuit asks a Spanish court to void your contract and order refunds. Relinquishment is a negotiated, documented surrender of the contract back to the developer. No case is filed, so there's no "costas" risk, no multi-year timeline, and no exposure to the outcome of the pending Anfi appeal.
Every major European timeshare brand, including: Anfi del Mar, Diamond Resorts Europe (now part of Hilton Grand Vacations), CLC World / Club La Costa, Silverpoint (Hollywood Mirage, Beverly Hills Heights, Palm Beach Club, Paramount/Club Paradiso), Marriott Vacation Club Europe, Macdonald Resorts, Holiday Club Resorts, Petchey Leisure, Wyndham Europe, Palm Oasis, De Vere, Sunterra Europe, Puerto Calma, Dreamplace, and most smaller independent Spanish, Portuguese and Canary Islands resorts. If yours isn't listed, just ask — we almost certainly handle it.
No — in fact, it often makes relinquishment easier. Resorts in liquidation, bankruptcy administration, or being sold to a new operator are often more willing to release owners quickly to clean up their books. We've completed exits from resorts mid-bankruptcy, mid-restructure, and mid-sale.
We handle financed timeshares regularly. The strategy differs — we'll walk you through it during your free eligibility review and tell you honestly whether we can help.
Fees depend on your resort, mortgage status and case complexity. A single fixed fee is agreed with you in writing before any work begins — no hidden costs, no ongoing charges. The typical total is a fraction of what you'd pay in a single year of continued maintenance fees.
Most relinquishments are completed in 90–180 days. Because we don't litigate, you avoid the 2–5 year timelines (and "costas" risk) of a Spanish court case. You'll have a firm timeline before you commit.
No. A proper relinquishment does not involve defaulting on payments. Your credit record is protected throughout the process.
