We two own for over 26 years, and have not received any information about this assessment until we received a bill to pay it. we also think there should be a class action law suit against Imperial Hawaii, and start by getting all those folks out of authority now. Do a clean sweep from the top to the bottom. This is an investment for our children and children children. We are so frustrated with this timeshare mess. I would like to know where we go from here. If we do not pay the assessment they mess threaten to mess up your credit record and that's not good. we are mad as hell and want to get started on something now. i agree also that they should not charge us anything to sell our weeks if they are forcing us out.

There is no "they". It is all "we". These decisions are being made by a volunteer Board consisting of timeshare owners representing timeshare owners. Why is everyone so quick to assume that "our" Board is acting in bad faith and making poor decisions???? The reality is that the issues are much more complex and difficult than any of the posts on this message board would even hint at and the solutions are neither obvious nor non-controversial. The reality is that no matter what decisions are made by the Board, some great number of timeshare owners will not be happy. The reality is that the Board is struggling mightily with these decisions (I can attest to that after attending the AOAO Board meeting and the IHVC Board meeting last Friday and Saturday respectively, and attending the Tuesday morning timeshare owner meeting conducted by the Board last Tuesday). It may surprise the timeshare owners to know that the most important decisions (whether to continue to attempt to buy the land from the lessor, whether to do nothing about the infrastructure issues with the plumbing, electrical, etc., whether to address the infrastructure issues aggressively and proactively, whether to gut the interior of the building and replace everything - as was done with all the buildings in the Waikiki Beachwalk renovation) are not even within the purview of the IHVC Board (the timeshare owners) but are to be decided solely by the AOAO (the entire building homeowner association, including Denny's, ABC Store, private condo owners (lessees), the owners (lessees) of the other commercial space in the building ). The January, 2007 brochure sent to all timeshare owners explaining these issues and the need for the special assessment contain a thousand times more information than the posters here seem to be aware of. Has no one read the brochure? It is really informative and is packed with graphical illustrations and charts that make it an easy read. It was mailed to all timeshare owners, it is passed out at the Tuesday morning timeshare owners meetings, and it was available at the AOAO and IHVC Board meetings (and will likely be available at the IHVC Board meetings this coming Spring).
