Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia
Timeshare Transfer
Husband & I purchased a time share in 01. The deed was in his name only. We paid the loan off in 02. In 03 we divorced & he sold me the time share for $2K. We originally paid $10K for it. At that time all maint. fees were paid & the title was clear. He did a quit claim deed & I personal contacted the resort and Mailed them a copy of the deed once I received it back from the court. I later tried to use the resort in 04 and was told it was not in my name, the could not dicuss it with me and it had gone to a collection agency for past due maintence fees. I contacted the CA & they have it listed in my husband name & told me they could change the fees into my name if I sent them a copy of the deed but they could not change it with the resort. I have since mailed the paperwork to the resort 4 times. I was overseas and contacted the resort & it was still not in my name so I faxed my deed again to the resort. I want to sue the resort because no matter how many times i send them the deed they will not change it into my name so I can use it BUT they continue to add Fees which now total $4K. I dont want to pay the fees 4 something I could not use. What can I do?

Re: Timeshare Transfer
File suit for your damages (up to $5K) based upon the resort's apparent negligence in the small claims court where the resort is headquartered.
