A new company has been brought to our attention by the name of Infinite Group.
As far as we understand, this company is cold calling consumers and offers them a Timeshare Disposal service for which they will have to travel to Spain.
Infinite Group seems to be a rather new company.
Their website http://www.infinite-group.net was registered on the 19th of November 2012
On the website Infinite Group assures that they NEVER cold call, and the fact they contact the consumer is that they have been given the consumers details by a “affiliated company”
Strangely enough the consumers that have been approached do not remember having spoken to any other company apart from being duped by dubious resale companies!
Consumers are invited over to Alicante in Spain where they will meet up with the person of a “third party organization” that will transfer the timeshare in their name.
The travel expenses generated by going to Spain and meeting up with this client of Infinite Group will be reimbursed afterwards.
The address from Infinite Group is not in Spain though as you would expect, as they claim to have their head office in Cyprus at Ayias Filaxeos, Limassol 3083, Cyprus
The contact number for Infinite Group is: 0845 154 1902 and Email: info@infinite-group.net
Although Infinite Group claims not to cold call and not to request any fees upfront, we certainly feel that consumers should be cautious as it isn’t clear at all where the contact information came from and what will happen in Spain.
Why can’t a disposal be arranged by phone, email and post? Why travel to Spain? And will the expenses be reimbursed as well if the consumer decides not to go ahead?
If you have been contacted by Infinite Group from 08451541902 and before you jump on a plane, please let us know!

Re ‘The Timeshare Shop’ again.
Their current address is now in Chorley Road, Salford, Manchester. 0161 736 9009 – 736 9010. They have, apparently, been in business for 20 years now, but moved from their previous address at 229 Bolton Rd, Salford.
They are quoting me fees of:- US Agent = 500
Notary & Transfer fee = 601
Timeshare Shop fee = 250
Total = £1,351
BUT, all payable only once the property is out of our hands AND he’s sending me through an Email to confirm that, PLUS this will all be spelt out in a contract, to be sent to me. So, no ‘Upfront’ fees. I was talking to ‘Simon’.
Your thoughts?

Hi i have put my timeshare up with this company and they put it up for sale on a Russian website which you can check. You also have go give them 300 pounds upfront for a holiday to be taken within 4 years. They send you monthly updates on your timeshare. but up to date they have not sold mine yet for me.
Hi. We tried to sell our Club La Costa points through a company called Holiday Marketing Solutions and after being assured they had a buyer and a guarantee being paid to them the ‘sale’ didn’t go ahead. However, they told us they would pass our details to a third party. Dan from the Infinite Group contacted us and told us he had a corporate buyer but we would have to travel to Spain to sign the deal. I advised him that this was not going to happen so we got no further. We did receive our guarantee back from HMS but I did this through my bank and HMS seemed shocked when I told them that the dealings with Infinite Group had not progressed and that I had received my guarantee back. Before dealing with the Infinite Group please read the blog regarding HMS on the Mindtimeshare as it also concerns the Infinite Group – different name but with the same people.
Hi Pauline,
Many thanks for pointing this out as it is indeed very important that consumers know these companies are working together!
Kind regards

Hi again I’ve been approached by ‘Sell My Timeshare’, based in Bournemouth – which is very local to me – with a No. 01202 935 012. That is my local area code. Female named Viviene is calling me back at 1400 tomorrow (Sat). Do you know them?
