special assessment fees

I am wondering if anyone has been able to fight this assessment fee and still be able to use their timeshare.I was not notified of the fee until June 07 and did not know that the resort had a website until that time. I have been trying to get some legal advice about it but have not had any luck. I have owned this timeshare for almost 7 years and have never been able to book a stay there. I have deposited it a few times but they always deposit it as a 1 or 2 bedroom and I have a grand villa which is 4 bedrooms. Does anyone else have similar problems with this resort?

I've owned for 20 years and only stayed there once because of bookings. I cant see a way of legally fighting the assessment. But then again with all the name changes and other events i.m not sure if Arnie is still the owner or what is happening, Joe B.

Regarding your info on Arne - he was murdered at Taino in (I believe) 2002/2003 which was our last stay at Taino. I have owned a time share since 1991, have also had problems with getting booked. I have not been there since 2003 because of the hurricanes of 2004 and 2005. I believe they are tearing down the old Taino in order to build new. I do not know what you mean by assessment fees as I only pay maintenance - is this what you mean - if so I was not informed of the increases until the new loaning company took over the control.
