Can no longer afford high maintenance fee. (by Phil L.):

The one thing many owners seem to forget in hard times are why they bought the timeshare in the first place!
If as I have stated many times you buy where you would enjoy going on vacation every year and exchange/rent the second options you did good.
For anyone saying they don't want to pay their maintenance fee's any longer they should sit back and think this out before jumping off the timeshare wagon. As things get better and they will people will be taking vacations and spending money for a over priced stay in some hotel. A timeshare owner only having to pay maintenance fee each year is small in most cases to what you would spend to rent for seven days. This had to be part of anyone's thinking while buying the timeshare to understand this was a bargan.
Many owners just want to and I hate the term "DUMP" walk away and few years from now many will regret not having their timeshare.
We own two units and paid $884.00 this year for one unit and will pay this amount or more for 2010 use for both units as one is even years only and it would cost us much more to go on vacation and rent a hotel just to sleep in for seven nights.
