Re: Redweek T/s Exchange - need to pay MF's in advance? (by Peter W.):

The bottom line - and I have this both verbally and in writing by email - is that Orange Lake does not require payment of maintenance fees and taxes in advance when an owner deposits a week with an exchange company, no matter who the exchange company is.
They do require m/fs and taxes to be "current", meaning that they have to be paid up to date for the current year, (i.e., as of now, 2007) before releasing the week to the exchange company. This, I believe, is actually what they were saying in their reply to Marty's enquiry.
So, as it is not a Resort Rule, will Redweek accept my Orange Lake weeks into their exchange system without requiring that I pay my maintenance fees and taxes in advance?Pete
I once owned at Orange Lake and you are correct that maintenance fees do not have to be paid before depositing into RCI, but evidently they do have to be paid in order to deposit into Redweek. It seems to be Redweek's rule, not Orange Lake's. Different exchange companies have different rules.
Exactly, Jayjay! But as I've pointed out before in this thread, Marty says that it is only Redweek's requirement because it is a resort rule, which I have now found out it isn't.....
