Diamond Resorts raises maintenance fees again! (by Robert R.):
Extortion is right. Pay up or they will ruin your credit rating.
Here is how my maintenance fees have grown: 2009 $635 2010 $788 2011 $782 2012 $896
In 2009 we paid $14,200 for a deeded silver membership with ILX Resorts. DRI took over in 2010. In January 2011 our membership was changed to a points-based system. So what happened to the deed recorded in Coconino County, AZ?
I just checked getaways at Interval International and I find a week at Los Abrigados in Sedona, our home resort, for $729. Others in Sedona are found as low as $227. So the maintenance fee has far surpassed the value of the accommodations.
