Re: Maintenance Fees (by Christopher L.):

Well here is my 2 cents...I bought my timeshare with Sheraton in Orlando in 2008. I didn't know too much but did do a few presentations with other companies and found Sheraton to be the best. Yes my maint fees went up every year. In five years of owning I have done one Interval Int exchange and found availability at Harborside one year. The rest of the years I rented my unit and made profit. For 2013 I was able to carry my options over to 2014. Not bad but I too agree that the maintenance fee issue is getting a little out of hand. They just keep going up. I shouldn't have to rent out my unit to try and offset the fee increases. I don't believe there is anything written into law to keep these companies from charging these fees and filing losses and writing their reports. I think the only way to combat the madness is to protest in a group in front of all of these presentation offices and prevent alot of these incident middle class citizens from signing and maybe that will get their attention. Also, I couldn't go this year to the annual meeting but maybe next year I will go and raise hell with Sheraton! Your thoughts!!!!
