Re: Maintenance Fees (by Thomas C.):

jayjay Is your resort managed by an HOA or a management company? If it's managed by an HOA then it's time to clean house and elect new board members. If it's managed by a management company then it's time for ALL owners to contact this company with your complaints.

thomasc147 After 25 years of exorbitant and ever-increasing maintenance fees, I've become "mad as hell and I can't take it anymore." My main complaint at my resort (High Point World Resort) is that management and administration fees account for 33% of the operating costs, or $884,871 for 108 units. That is ridiculous! I feel helpless to act. Does anyone have any experience on how one begins to address this issue? Is there a regulatory agency in Florida I can contact? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm ready for action. Thanks.[/Q[/Q] We have a Board but they have been the same members forever. I am suspicious they have some ownership or connection to the management company or administration, and I am in the process of trying to find that out. I know the only real strength for change is numbers, but getting owners together in any fashion in the timeshare system is extremely difficult, time-consuming and costly. I wonder if there are attorney's in Florida and/or elsewhere that have experience in timeshare class-action lawsuits?
