You decide, is it fair for Timeshare Associations to Double Maintenance Fees?

Picture this, as a Timeshare owner you receive a letter stating that the resort “is no longer sustainable as a timeshare community.” The letter goes to say that maintenance fees could more than double! Your only option, to buy out your timeshare or move to another building for a limited time period.

This is the scenario for timeshare owners at the Lake Okanagan Resort. Timeshare owners are reporting a severe decline in service and amenities each year. With a deadline of January 15, 2019, timeshare owners of the Lake Okanagan Resort that chose not to pay the excessive fees may now face debt collection agencies.

If you are a timeshare owner and have questions about fees and debt collection, Finn Law Group can help.

Why does hiring a lawyer help? The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (or FDCPA) stipulates that third party debt collectors are legally prohibited from directly contacting a debtor (such as a timeshare owner withholding a resort payment) if that debtor has retained an attorney. Instead, the debt collector must contact your attorney; they may only continue to contact you, the consumer, if granted permission, or if the “attorney fails to respond to the debt collector within a reasonable period of time,” as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) explains.

This protection is a huge asset for a number of reasons! First, it can go a long way toward ensuring your peace of mind and financial stability in the short term. Even more importantly? Historically, outside debt collectors have been valuable tools for resorts and developers; if these agents are repeatedly hamstrung by the lawyer’s representation and return the file back to the resort, the consumer suddenly has the benefit of leverage, softening up the resort for an attorney to begin a walkaway negotiation.

Finn Law Firm's Client Reviews & Testimonials

Based on 148 reviews

I found Finn Law Group in July 2019 when I couldn’t find a way to get rid of my timeshare. It had been given as a gift and I realized a few years later that it was not something I should have agreed to take on. After calling the timeshare directly to have them buy back or take it back, they simply replied that they don’t do such things. I searched online for timeshare attorneys and found Finn Law Group. Mr. Finn and his team put me at ease and said they would work with me to get rid of the timeshare but made sure to tell me that it would take time. With COVID hitting less than a year later, it set the timeline back considerably. Finally, I got the call from Louise in January 2026 saying that the timeshare had been taken back and I was free and clear. It was one of the best calls I’ve ever received in recent memory. After securing the group’s services in 2019, Louise stuck with me and kept me updated and protected. I cannot thank her and everybody at Finn Law Group enough for their help with this matter. I highly recommend Mr. Finn, Louise, and everyone at Finn Law Group for their services. It was a long and nerve-wracking journey, but they succeeded and I’m eternally grateful. THANK YOU!

Finn Law Group helped get me out of my timeshare. Even though my timeshare wasn’t in Florida, they still assisted and finally got me out of this timeshare. I should have contacted them long ago.

Louise I just want to thank you and Finn Law Group for helping me resolving my timeshare matter
Truely professionals

Finn Law Firm successfully helped terminate my timeshare contract, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. Stephanie Pryor was excellent—she always responded on time, kept me informed throughout the entire process, and made everything clear. The communication was consistent and professional from start to finish. Most importantly, they delivered the results they promised. I would definitely recommend Finn Law Firm to anyone needing help with a timeshare termination.

Tammy from the Finn Law Group helped me with a timeshare issue. The guidance they gave me was very helpful. I am grateful for the peace of mind they gave me. I would definitely use them in the future. Thank you Tammy!

We contacted Finn Law Group about getting out of our timeshare and were so happy with the advice they gave us. Instead of charging us, they told us exactly what steps to take with our timeshare company, and it worked! In the end, we were able to get released from our contract for a fraction of what we thought it would cost. We really appreciate their honesty and guidance and would definitely recommend them.

Finn Law Group in my opinion is one of the elite law offices in the country, providing professional legal service. They really care about their clients needs and concerns. Finn Law Group resolved my timeshare issue providing excellent guidance and guaranteed positive results. I will be forever grateful for the stress relief they provided.

I called Finn Law Group with a timeshare issue and spoke with Mrs. Tammy. She was very professional and was able to assist me in a timely manner. She answered all my question so I could understand them and was ultimately able to help solve my problems/issues. This is a huge weight off my shoulders. Thank you Finn Law Group and thanks again Mrs. Tammy. I would defiantly call them back if I need further assistance.
