Hello jrider, I am in the exact situation that you are in with Villa Del Palmar, UVC. My maintenance fee was approx. $4k in arrears, and they have doubled my amount owed to $8,300 with random fees through Monterey Collections. Do you know if Tug member,
beach.bar.bob, is still part of the UVC Member Advisory Council and where have you found the most effective ways of running the timeshare company through the mud for the bad practices as I would like to join your fight. Right now, I had one conversation with Monterey Collections, where the demand was "Pay-up and we have no guarantees what UVC will do anything to let you out of the agreement as a result of paying owed fees." I have talked with several attorneys, no one seems interested in helping and those that are seem to be scam artists themselves. I really don't know who to trust to assist with putting closure to this nightmare. Please feel free to post here or send a private post on your progress since it has been some time since your post. Hoping you get this post and can update me on your progress so I can follow behind a wiser person. Any one else with advice would appreciate your input. HELP PLEASE!!!
Hello. In 2020 I documented that my membership was paid in full and that my maintenance fees were paid in full and then sent a letter (with that documentation) to UVC stating that I no longer wanted to be a member of their "club." they sent me a response telling me I needed to send them all the info I'd already sent them plus another year of maintenance and another significant sum in order for them to process the paperwork. (they got everything they wanted except for the $$$).
Further, I would suggest reading UVCs Amended and Restated Articles and Bylaws 11-5-19. It's online

Section 1.43 Member
"...means the owner of a Membership in the Club who has purchased the Membership for the purpose of exercising the lodging rights and services..."
Section 1.46 Membership Purchase Agreement
Member purchases a Membership in the Club..."
You did not purchase anything tangible, you paid to be a member of a club.
Section 6.06 Payment Default
"... Once the First Delinquent Notice has been delivered, and after compliance with any other requirements under the Governing Documents and Applicable Laws, the Club shall no longer have any obligation to assure the Member’s right to reserve lodging rights and services at any Project, even if the delinquent payment and any Late Charge are thereafter received by the Club."
Here is the best part...
"In addition, the Second Delinquent Notice shall notify the Member that the Club may cancel the Member’s Membership..."
~
"...the Member is given 15 days’ prior notice of the expulsion, suspension or termination of Membership privileges and the reasons therefore; and (2) the Member is provided an opportunity to be heard, orally or in writing, not less than five days before the effective date of the expulsion, suspension or termination by a person or body authorized to decide that the proposed suspension not take place."
You've been expelled from the club - Which is probably what you wanted in the first place.
