Horizons won’t touch you if you owe money, they have to be free and clear.

Those meetings in your area is another pitch that will only get you in deeper.

Need to just say no, stop going to those meetings.

You’ve got yourself dug into a deep hole, could rent some to help offset some cost
What is the best way to rent out some pointsto help me recover some money to help pay for maintenance fees? Ebay?

I have rented weeks and shorter stays on ebay and Redweek with success. You are responsible for any damages.

Newbie here. Need some advice, directions, anything...still making payments, but I want out! Where do I start, I still have quite a bit left to pay and the fees are becoming ridiculous.

Welcome to TUG!

unfortunately if you still owe on the loan and are not willing/able to pay it off or transfer the balance to another line of credit, you dont have any good options to get out. just one bad one. though that option might be better than doing nothing for some situations!

I have completed the Horizon program "Deed Back" process, and am no longer an "owner". The last in quotes because as I purchased points, I never really owned anything except a membership in a club...that's all points are.

While I don't have my notes in front of me, I applied the end of July. They said 4-6 weeks I'd get a package with paperwork (turned out to be one page to sign). HOWEVER, it didn't show up after 6 weeks (DON'T wait more than 4 weeks!) I called them. The gal found the application, said it had been approved to proceed, but nothing was done, it was just sitting there. So she forwarded it to the manager. At that point, I called every 2 weeks. Got the letter to acknowledge I was giving it up and sent it in the FedEx envelope provided.

Went pretty smooth from there. About the end of October got a letter saying it was complete, I was no longer an "owner", which I confirmed twice with follow up calls to be sure, as I got NOTHTING official. More evidence that I never really owned anything.

So I'm free of the $4200 maintenance fees (Ridge Tahoe) which I'm sure will go up this year, as HICV is pumping a ton of money into a very distressed property. I can rent on the open market for the same or less than my maintenance fees. HICV brand is not premium, so they'll never fix it up the way it was.

I'M GLAD TO BE OUT!
