Re: Re: Get out of Westgate Resorts (by Paul R.):

How much were "the fees owing," and did you pay them? I am considering stopping maintenance fee payments, which I have made since the 90's.

I owned Westgate since 96 and when the yearly maintenance increases pushed the maintenance fee over $1,000/yr (started at $225/yr and just kept growing), I stopped paying the maintenance fees. I wanted to just give the timeshare back and be done with and tried to meet with them during my last two visits but wouldn't accept the timeshare back. After I stopped paying maintenance in 2020, it took 3 years or so of them trying to contact me for the late fees that kept growing over the years. I repeatedly ignored them and if they ever did catch me, I told them to forclose. They finally said if I paid the late fees they would proceed with termination and I ignored that too. Lots of mail that was ignored. In June 2024 they forclosed for the value owing and sent a legal document showing the title was given up in exchange for the fees owing. My advice, if you want out, don't pay them anymore and tell them to forclose. Thank you tp the contributors as this thread was helpful in my Westagate timeshare terminations efforts.
