Anyone here having a problem paying their annual dues for a fixed week at Wyndham Riverside Suites?

Anyone here having a problem paying their annual dues for a fixed week at Wyndham Riverside Suites?

I had no issues - paid on the 26th. What kind of issue are you having?

 

[ronparise]

Pretty sure the folks at this number can take payments ‭(800) 225-3522‬

Basically they will not take my payment as they say the timeshare is no longer in my name. After a long conversation with Title Services, it seems that Wyndham's title search company did a review of deeds at Riverside Suites and found my deed (filed in 2008 by Wyndham) is defective, and has changed the name my account to be the Riverside Suites Council HOA. As you would expect with Wyndham, I was never notified of this event and even received by annual invoice in the fall for my dues - as I have for the past 8 years.

Did they re-title the account or the deed or both?

 

[ecwinch]

Just the account. No new deed has been recorded - they say that since my deed is defective, title reverts to the last good titleholder (aka the HOA).

So are they in the process of sending you a check for all the maintenance fees, plus interest, you erroneously paid since 2008 for something they are now saying you don't own? And if there is a recorded deed in your name is this something that they can legally do after 8 years? Will they be correcting their mistake? How is it even possible for them to to say "Oops we made a mistake 8 years ago in the way we prepared your deed so we are taking it away from you with no due legal process?" Does this mean that at any time Wyndham could do the same thing with any of us? I hope OP with legal background can tell us more about this.

If you don't want this timeshare any more you're golden. But assuming you do, I figure it will be very difficult to get hold of someone at Wyndham who would have the knowledge and expertise to dig into this and fix things. The only suggestion I have is to immediately send a certified letter to the highest Wyndham officer whose name you can find, letting him know that stealing your property is illegal and you'll wait about 1 week before initiating legal action.

There was a thread earlier referencing the Florida department that handles timeshare complaints. I would send them a carbon copy of my letter

Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares & Mobile Homes
400 W. Robinson Street, Suite N-908
Orlando, FL 32801
407-317-7226

I'm not one to overreact, but I'm thinking this is a problem that needs a quick solution or it will only get worse. Good luck.

That's funny.....

I take it that the seller didn't have clear title to the fixed week you acquired (the HOA had an outstanding MF debt / lien on that week)?

If you do have adequate ownership documentation, I agree with kaljor about bouncing it up the "HOA's" chain of command and through the FL division of condominiums, timeshare, etc. (mentioning something to the effect of "fraud by conversion").

What was the fraudulent act and who did it?

Unless Eric bought this from the HOA I dont see them involved (Not Wyndham either)

 

[ecwinch]

I'm not terribly worried about it that the moment. I have fired off a demand letter to the HOA, we will see where that goes.

This is a fixed week, so I am not really chasing anything on the Wyndham side - though I believe it will come back to them. I am choosing to communicate directly with the HOA as I live in San Antonio and it is easy to deliver correspondence to the resort.

 

[Avislo]

Good first start. The Wyndham Property Management Group (if Wyndham Managed) is more likely to resolve the matter unless they really want the week.

What happened to this?

Still being worked on.
