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

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.
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.....

Pete this is what I stated in my earlier post!
Our resort collects in Jan and you do not need to pay 2008 to deposit your unit with II . We don't pay until Jan 10,2008 but have already traded for Maui in 2008.
There are resorts that probably require you are paid in advance to trade your unit but from what I can see this is a Redweek issue .
No need for Redweek to pass the buck with all this resort rules bull. Just state it is a Redweek rule and leave it there.
