    You surrendered your CLC membership in 2012 and have written confirmation that this has been finalised.  You presumably have had no further dealings with CLC and no demands for further money.  My advice would be to accept that you are fortunate to have escaped the 'system' almost unscathed and not to take this any further.  I would cancel any further conversations / meetings with these people as they can be at least as persuasive as the original timeshare sellers.  In reality many of them probably are exT/S salespeople!

    I agree, these people will already know that the person is susceptible to pressure selling so they are on to a potential winner before they even start. Before OP knows it they will be agreeing that a small payment up front to get potentially thousands back sounds like a good idea. 

    Don’t walk away, run away .
