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.

Louise, we are delighted to have an opportunity to brag about Finn Law Group. Finn Law Group et all provided my wife and I a great deal of confidence we had contacted the right organization to help us work through our time-share-nightmare. Their frequent updates ensured us that the firm was working our case diligently and we appreciated their communication as thet continued to work for us. For anyone who reads this review please realize that resolving these issues with time-share companies is not a quick fix overnight. But, I want to assure you that you would be hard pressed to find a more qualified company to represent you. Our case was resolved to our satisfaction and as Finn Law group represented themselves. Their fee is a small price to pay for the peace of mind they provided us. I cannot recommend them strongly enough. Time share free and so thankful to the Finn Law Group. Best wishes to all at Finn and thank you. Mike and Vickie

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!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your thoughtful review. It’s great to hear that Finn Law Group delivered the level of service you expected. Our team takes pride in providing our clients with both clarity and strong legal advocacy in timeshare property cancellations.
