Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Wisconsin

My advice would be to never purchase a timeshare. Although they might work out for some, I hear nothing but horror stories from my bankruptcy clients, a disproportionate number of whom seem to have been "sold" on such a purchase. Aside from being wildly overpriced, the contracts notoriously leave consumers perpetually at the mercy of management; and maintenance fees are one of the primary complaints for those few who actually manage to eventually pay off the timeshare. Timeshare in foreign countries present the additional risk of practical impossibility of enforcing what few rights they do have, due to the uncertainty and expense of needing to bring legal proceedings in foreign courts if things go wrong. Of course, no having seen your specific contract, I could not comment on what rights you may have, if any, to object to these maintenance fees. However, my guess is that the contract is not in your favor.
