Subject: maintenance fees

After trying to sell the weeks that we own for some time, and now getting a reminder regarding maintanence fees, which seem to be more that the timeshare is worth after the loss of the gold crown status etc, we have also been told by RCI that our already banked and paid for weeks have been blocked by CLC until fees are paid. It is total catch 22 situation, has anybody else come across this? A rise in fees of 50% when CLC took over, 2002 - 2003 and then a further 20% the following year, no refits completed that members have paid for, no wonder there are comments in this forum by dissatisfied members. Open to offers for weeks 36 & 37, Paradise Club.

If RCI have blocked weeks you have paid maintenance on already, I would think they have made a mistake. Blocking weeks that have not had maintenance paid is understandable. Like you, we were in the catch 22 situation regarding maintenance fees being unrealistic given that you could rent a week in a better accomodation for less. Rather than just give our weeks up we succumbed and transferred to CLC points for the minimum price and will now give them a try with a reduction in maintenance fees for two Paradise weeks of some £300+ having traded in the two weeks and ceded our other weeks owned elsewhere.

Hi Fiona, I too have been trying to sell two weeks owned during school summer holidays without any success. I've had no problems in exchanging through RCI for this year. I'm against totally being forced to shell out more cash on any points system and expect that this will be the last year I'll be paying extortionate maintenance fees based on the the quality of rented accommodation now available and the possiblity of further pay-outs on a possible 'members fee' mentioned on a previous posting.

its worth a try but in my experience they are a totally useless bunch and I do have my own views about their motives for being on the committee which I will not share on an open site for obvious reasons.

Anyone know who was successful at the AGM election/reelection for Paradise and Monterey rep?
