new owner--do I need to pay dues

[LattNJ]

I bought DVC direct from Disney, I think I've closed (do I get anything stating I did?? The date was supposed to be sometime in the beginning of March)....should I owe dues now, or would that be paid in full till next January? When I go to dvcmember.com, it says I owe dues??

When I bought direct once I made the final payment (pd cash) it closed. Dues was included in the sale retroactive for the rest of the year. We did not have to pay additional dues after closing for the rest of that calendar year.

For our inital point purchase and our add on, both which were direct my guide asked us how we wanted to pay the annual dues. We chose monthly from our checking account so both times we needed to send in a voided check so they could set up the recurring ACH. It took more than a month for it to be begin with both but then magically the money began to be debited on the first of each month.

If you are not sure I would call member accounting; they can tell you what is going on.

Good Luck.

When you purchased from Disney you owed dues for the calendar year pro-rated from date of purchase (you don't pay for the days or months in the calendar year that are before your date of purchase). When you purchased you should have been given the option of paying dues monthly, as long as you do automatic withdrawal from your checking account. or just pay them all for the year as part of the closing of the sale. If you chose the former, you will start having monthly amounts taken from your checking account likely beginning in April but it could start as late as May depending on when the closing actually takes place. If you chose the latter, you would know by now whether you actually paid your dues. That and the fact that web-site shows you still owe dues leads me to believe you signed up for automatice monthly withdrawals from your checking account.

As to what you get after closing, you will get a deed and other closing documents in the mail probably sometime next month if closing was this month.

We bought direct and when we closed last summer I got a bill for the fees about 4-5 weeks after closing. It was pro-rated! I don't remember getting a payment option but I just paid the whole bill when it came

Yes, you will owe 2011 MF's from the date you agreed to purchase. That is why it is listed on the website.

You have a few choices to pay them. You can do it online, you can call and pay over the phone (I believe), or you can call and have it set up to have the dues paid monthly directly from a bank account.
