Looking for advice regarding maintenance fee default and what happens once my timeshare gets re-sold. Has anyone had any success with this no affecting credit? For reference, I only owe $6k on maintenance fees BUT I have never once used HGV and would love nothing more than to have this thing gone. Is this the best course of action? Thanks for your time!
 
Can you explain a bit more? Are you saying that you have a HGVC deed, it is paid off, but you have skipped paying MFs this year?
 
I received this letter in the mail the other day. Trying to determine what exactly I should do to get out of this. Mine is paid in full, except my MF for this year. Is there a way to default, it be resold and not ding credit? Do I just pay them?

ah, this is Diamond and not HGVC since it says Diamond Resorts US Collection. @GT75 can move this to the Diamond forum. They can give you better thoughts on defaulting there. This forum is deeds in HGVC which work differently than the Diamond (collections) ownership
 
Well that's the confusing part, Diamond "grandfathered" me into HGV and I also bought into them. Whatever you think it best, I would appreciate any help I can get.
 
Diamond is under the HGV umbrella but HGVC is, basically a different company under the same HGV umbrella. Yes, they are both in HGV but Diamond and HGVC are run separately.

This basically shows it. You are under the HVC part.

Awesome. Thank you for the clarification. I have combed through some forums on here, reddit, and fb. Is there anyone on here that has truly defaulted on MF with limited issues following? Or someone that can provided me with some council on what to do from here? Thanks again for your time!

On the deed side, there have been and you can look at this thread at some of them that have come back to comment, https://tugbbs.com/forums/threads/hgvcs-deed-back-process.359743/

In the HVC/Diamond forum, read though this page and message the folks who have commented that they have gotten out of it, https://tugbbs.com/forums/threads/s...-hgv-diamond-resorts-timeshare.224859/page-53

I received this letter too.
 
I hope so, I received the same letter. Mine is paid off, its just the MF's that are in default by 2k.

Have you found any guidance? When I called they told me they do not report MFs to the credit bureau. Like you, mine is paid off and I just want to be done with it. I am going to let them take it back.
