    Hi, I think they will be legally entitled to chase you for the money.Your best be is to try and sell it on ebay,but looking on there its looks like there are alot of people in the same situation as you and selling them for peanuts just to get rid of the worry.What you have to realise that unless you do something about it, then you have to keep on paying the maintenace whether you use it or not,which could go on for years!.I know this is not what you wanted to hear but cut your losses if you can and move on.

    I'm afraid the sad fact is you have been offered peanuts for it because that's what it's worth.
