Re: Timeshares on credit report? (by Josephine C.):

Thank you--that makes sense. So basically, if the resort has not been reporting on-time MF payments made (which they haven't), they cannot now report non-payment of those maintenance fees, nor can they tell me they are going to impact my credit negatively. Because I have a letter from them saying just that.

A creditor has the right to institute legal action to collect a valid debt but Federal Law prohibits threats with no intent to follow through.
