Re: Why does Maintenance Fees increase? (by Lou L.):

I think that is hitting the proverbial 'nail on the head'.

A few further points: 1. As far as credit ratings are concerned, I don't think they will hold as much water as they would during 'good times'. 2. HOA pressure is fine, but an effort should be made across resort boundaries. No one is going to fight for Timeshare owners as Timeshare owners (as a group) would fight for themselves. 3. I know people are afraid, and the resort owners are aware of that and use it to their benefit, but there are thousands of TS owners.
