Here is a guess:

-You haven't been to the US since you stopped paying your maintenance fees.

-It didn't impact you in Curaco, so you have just been ignoring it for 4 years.

-Now, you want to make a trip to the US, but you are afraid that the unpaid debt will prevent you from entering the country.

-Since you have money to travel to the US, that means you could pay the maintenance fee if you wanted to, but you no longer want this timeshare.

Have I got it right?

*In my opinion, if you pay off your debt and clear the title, you will probably be able to give this away on TUG, because a 3 bdm. for only $652 per year, is a good deal. But under the current circumstances: 1) large debt, 2) your location in Curco, and 3) unclear foreclosure status, very few people will be interested, because there are too many things that could go wrong.

If this is a 3br lock off in Presidential Villas at Plantation Resort I would not be surprised if someone would take on a $2,000 pay off to obtain this. One just went on eBay for $2,142 but it did include a years use. So that money is not too far off for this resort but Denise is right, a lot can go wrong.

I had friends check on the resort for me and everyone there was very helpful so I'm sure you could get the straight dope if you wanted to. It would help to know that this is in the summer float period though.

It's my understanding that the MFs plus taxes for this type unit is just over $700.

What is the $169 per night fee? Are you talking about exchanging for an All Inclusive resort? For the most part, only resorts in Mexico have an all-inclusive fee - you don't have to pay that with US exchanges, and most other countries.

If you have no plans to come to the US, then I don't think there is much they can do to you. If there was something they could do - they would have done it by now.

However, as I wrote above, it would be easier to give away if you paid the back fees and cleared the title. Good luck!

I do not. I had a slight interest in the resort because the ones I was looking at had a favorable float period.

It is a very nice resort not right on the ocean but they have a shuttle that runs every hour to the beach.

If the resort is going to want the $2,000 you owe I don't think you'll find a taker here, I know it's out of my price range for a TS.

I think the resort is still in active sales so if you offer to give the deed back without them going through foreclosure and wipe the slate clean, I think they would be better off.

Since you are not a US citizen I really don't see how just walking away is going to hurt you in any way.

Sorry that I added to the confusion.

Denise asked what effect your non payment has had on you.

If I were to be 3 months late paying my timeshare fees my resort would send the bill to collections and if would hurt my credit rating. Then if I still did not pay they would foreclose on the unit and my credit would be hurt again.

In your situation, being in a foreign country, I'm thinking that your non-payment will not affect you or your credit at all.

If that's the case, I would let them know that you can't afford to pay and let them know they can have the unit back.
