I recently purchased a timeshare from another TUG member that has been converted to RCI points. We bought the timeshare to use with our family and have, at least for the next several years, no interest in depositing it. We do not have, nor do we particularly want, a points account at this time. The resort handled all of the legal transfer paperwork. There was some confusion about the 2016 use of the week, which I did not want and which had already been deposited; the previous owner called the resort about the points use. Honestly, the woman who did the paperwork was a bit of a flake - she emailed me with the wrong name, misunderstood intentions, asked the seller to complete the wrong sections and so on - she also implied she would handle the escrow and then didn't. The reason I recount this is when the seller requested clarification, this is the email she sent us:
"The Z's have occupancy/ownership beginning 2017. If they are not adding the unit to a points account or transferring your account over, the unit needs to be cancelled out of the RCI membership.
If it does not get cancelled out, RCI will continue to think you own the unit and will continue to deposit 2017, 2018 points and beyond into your account.
So, while I understand you want to finish using the 2015 & 2016 points, the account will need to be cancelled in the near future, so they will be able to use the ownership."
Can this be so? There is legal documentation that I now own the timeshare but the former owner has to stop RCI from automatically taking the points? Of what value is the legal documentation if this is so? For the record, the seller is a lovely woman and I do believe that she would do what she needs to and be fair and honest with me but this email is making me crazy.
Thanks, in advance, for your help.
