Your maintenance fees (by Bob B.):

understood.. but larger companies that are going to acquire a struggling resort for a steal aren't going to be interested in the "why's" nor are other owners who have to pick-up the slack for costs. You and I both know that the people in this forum aren't "deadbeats" but H.O.A.'s don't sort out their bad debt into 2 files that are labeled "deadbeats" and " folks who were unfortunately tricked into purchasing this resort under false pretenses". They see a contract that was signed (with an acknowledgement that states " no verbal promises were made" all contracts have them) and complete and will intend on collecting the maintenance fees that are owed. The sad part is that these poor folks will never get their money back. Our best hopes are that the criminals are put behind bars so it doesn't continue to happen. But they own it, and again, unless they can get out through legal remedy, they will only be worsening their own woes by not paying maintenance.

And JayJay, I along with everyone on here appreciate your desire to help with this situation and your guidance, but before you get people riled up and heading down a wrong path, don't post hastily and "suggest" things that can damage these owner's further. I know it is done with good intent, but you believing in what you are saying doesn't make it true, nor does it necessarily help these owners. (I am only referring to the last post) Keep up the fight, and thank you for caring for the folks on here even though you don't have a dog in it.
