Re: 2011 Harborside II Maintenance Fees - OVERBOARD (by Henry S.):
We have 22K views on this crucial topic. Obviously Vistana will do nothing unless they are backed up against a wall, either legally or financially.
At this point in time, legal recourse is in murky waters because of how the contracts are written up and the legal entities that hold them not being US companies.
However, on the financial side there is leverage BUT ONLY if the homeowners are a unified body that exert control over the actual Maintenance Fees being disbursed to Vistana.
How might that occur?
1. Search for and interview a law firm that capable of dealing with Vistana and is willing to take a fee based upon the amounts put into escrow and effectiveness of outcome.
2. Have all Maint Fee placed into an Escrow account by those HOA Members will to go to battle - the more the better and the bigger the fund!
3. As Mutiny on the Bounty starts to starve HOA Management, our requirement of full disclosure on how Maint Fees are actually collected, spend, VAT tax issues, etc - Negotiations are now on a flat playing field.
4. If you are an Owner, fill out the following form and send it to any other owner you may know. If we can't generate enough interest we all know the consequence...more of same.
