    Low maintenance fees on MVC resale, too good to be true?

    I’m potentially interested in buy MVC points resale and have been looking around here, Redweek, eBay, and on broker websites. I’ve noticed a lot of variation in the maintenance fees and see what seem like really good deals in some cases. For example, a verified listing on Redweek for 2,50...

    What are Timeshares Obligated to do with your MF?

    Are timeshare companies obligated to carry out maintenance on the property if I am obligated to pay maintenance fees? If they do not maintain the can I get out of my fees if they don't do what they are supposed to? Is it different for different states/countries?

    Desperate Help With Maintenance Fees and Loan Needed

    First of all, let me start out by stating that I'm an idiot in desperate need of advice. I had a 1 Bedroom Suite that I bought in 2013 that I had paid off, and back in April 2021 was given a 7 day/ 6 night stay at an Orlando resort to listen to their upgrade presentation. Long story-short they...

    THIS IS SO AMAZING!!! First, let me just say Thank You for creating this, and to all members for keeping it alive.

    Program fee? [Wyndham]

    Hi, we are currently Discovery. Thanks to all of you, I see the value in resale. We recently stated at Glacier Canyon and agreed to a ‘meeting’. My sole potential interest in buying direct is for the amenities pass for the wristbands all year round. I inquired about a 28,000 point contract. Long...

    Bad Debt, Is this typical?

    I just received my statement for the proposed 2021 budget for Vacation Village at Bonaventure. One thing that really jumped out at me was the "Reserve for Bad Debt". On a per Timeshare Week the reserve is being proposed at $359.19 of a total of $966.53. That's over 30% of the total maintenance...

    What happens if you just stop paying maintenance fees?

    We are among the people who were duped into buying a timeshare in Las Vegas and greatly regret it at this point. We own it free and clear, and it seems like getting rid of it will actually cost us money. Just wondering what happens if we just stop paying the maintenance fees. We are semi-retired...
