You are telling people to get help from the people who ripped them off in the first place. The ARDA should help the victims,especially since they pay about 99% of all contributions to the ARDA via the "Voluntary $5.00 ARDA fee" on maintenance fee bills. If you disagree please show me one thing ARDA has done to help victims of TS companies, not re-sellers but the actual developer.Indeed, you should speak up. Call, write, e-mail and use social media. The resort, the general manager, the exchange company, ARDA and most importantly other timeshare owners!
James, you are correct that ARDA is called American Resort Developer Association .... they are advocates for developers, not timeshare owners .... I never considered giving ARDA contributions = the voluntary fee on maintenance dues.
