I have paid my westgate timeshare in full. I don't want to pay the maintenance fee anymore. I received the collection letter concerning my fees. What will happen if I no longer pay my maintenance fees

You'll get more collection letters, but eventually they'll foreclose. Will it affect your credit? Nobody knows. It might. @Grammarhero tracked this for some time. He may chime in with his results.

If you are getting letters, how long since you stopped paying?

I need to update the thread. I notice resorts are more likely to report to credit companies than usual.

westgate is certainly an odds on favorite to turn your account over to collections and report it to the credit bureaus.
