My husband gave Silverleaf Resorts a check for $15, 000 to buy the deed for the ownership rights outright, rather than pay monthly payments. Now granted, we have not paid the maintenance fees the past few months, which technically should only prohibit us from using the property and services. Now, we have received a certified letter in the mail in which Silverleaf Resorts is telling us that they will sell our timeshare in an auction on the steps of a courthouse in some other state (Missouri, we live in Texas) on a certain date in order to collect payment for the maintenance fees, which only amount to $1100. This is BOGUS. We own the deed. It's in my husband's name, and we have the physical copy of it. Someone please tell me they don't have a legal leg to stand on, and that they can't do this! This is an asset we own, that we have been saving aside for a future time, and now they are simply going to sell it off, and all that money is just going to go up in smoke!
