    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.

    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...
