We reluctantly bought our timeshare a year and a half ago. After 3 hours of no's we were finally beaten down and caved to all the promises in the world. We like others were told we had to buy in order to use their resale company to sell our other timeshare and that it would be no problem to sell at $16k. It say on the market for a year at $4k with not a single call. We paid off our BG timeshare in a week, so they got their money.
So over the summer we hit a slight financial bump and fell behind on our maintenance fees of $350. We had already paid the other half in January, but unlike our other timeshare they do 2 separate payments, which I had no idea. Any how I called in December and asked if they'd wave our additional $300 late fee if I paid the $350 in full and they agreed. I told them I WOULD be calling back, note my account, to pay it in full, just had to find my credit card and move some money around.
I called back a few days later after I found my card and got things in order, only to find out my original call red flagged my account and they sent it to collections the day after I called. So not only did I owe $600 now, but I was also given an additional $300 late fee. I spoke to the wonderful collection agent who I have already paid $600 to and he continues to call me daily to remind me what a horrible person I am because I can't (won't) pay a "meesely" $300 today because id rather feed my kids. He supposedly spoke to BG who refuses to write off that $300 now, which makes no sense. So I have paid $900 for one year of maintenance fees because of their shadiness.
For those of you who want to reply and tell me I should've just paid my fees and I wouldn't be in this situation1. Thanks for that useless info 2. May you hit a financial bump in your life so you can see how fun it is or better yet you pay it for me if you're gonna judge me.
