It seems that organizations like CH Vacation Owners Association can disregard transparency, good governance and consumer rights - because much needed Not-for-profit Corporations Act is not in force ontario.ca/page/rules-not…

When the crises is over, many owners will want to take a vacation. Except they don't know how much more they will have to pay to cover for new delinquencies. We need exit solution for all. Please sign the petition: change.org/p/wyndham-ovat…

When delinquencies skyrocket post-COVID-19, the properties can be sold out via auction timesofsandiego.com/business/2020/…

1/5 Q&A from survey: What are your key concerns about consumer protection and contracts? Lack of awareness and understanding of what timeshare owner rights are. Lack of government intervention to help owners break out of their in-perpetuity contracts. ontario.ca/form/survey-st…

2/5 Q: Anything else you want to tell us about the issue? A: More than 9,000 timeshare owners at Carriage Hills / Carriage Ridge, locked in draconian in-perpetuity deeded contracts, need access to a responsible exit program (Wyndham’s Ovation program not available in Ontario).

4/5 The agreement requires 75% of vote to declare resort obsolete. This threshold includes 20% of delinquent owners, who do not have the right to vote otherwise. It is not clear how can any changes ever be made.

5/5 Developer is not responsible to honour anything that the sales rep has promised. This “right-to-lie” is one of the worst contractual provisions in the agreement of purchase and sale. It should be made illegal.

US Timeshare Industry Outlook Negative. Fitch monitoring ongoing delinquencies, prepayments, defaults. Occupancy rates to remain at historic lows in the near term, which could result in dissatisfaction, leading to increasing levels of defaults. fitchratings.com/research/struc…

Hospitality industry will survive. Timeshare industry likely not. Our 10,000 Carriage Hills / Ridge owners still facing being sued for non-payment of maintenance fees.

This model is broken. "Timeshare tours are the bread & butter of the business... The catch is that buyers spend time attending a “tour” of the property which includes an aggressive sales pitch to buy an ownership share or points for future vacations" seekingalpha.com/article/433640…

Carriage Hills Board: Nov 2019 - Don’t bother coming to AGM, we are not discussing exit. Feb 6, 2020 - We have hit a "major milestone" but won’t be discussing it @ Feb board mtg. Mar 19, 2020 - We can’t tell you anything because of COVID. Apr 30 is coming - what’s next excuse?

You are one of hundreds (if not thousands) of owners who will not be able to afford maintenance fees this year. And we can't just stop paying because our Board can sue us and garnish our wages at the end. #timeshare #trapped Consumer Protection Ontario @LisaThompsonMPP

"The vacation ownership industry is a crowded space, with many operators and many business models." And many scam exit firms milking the huge market of unhappy strangled owners.

We keep hearing from our Carriage Hills and Carriage Ridge Owners Group owners about problems with the points system. #fractional #vacation #ownership is very illusive. But no matter points or weeks, owners simply want out. #exit4all
