There are many types of liens, and many procedures to be followed in order for a lien to be legally effective.

This is work for association counsel.

Can delinquent membership dues in a timeshare be reported to a credit agency?

Any debt CAN be reported to the credit bureaus. What you need to find out is whether or not these dues WILL be reported. Credit reporting is totally volunatary. There is no law or regulation which compels it. Existing laws only state that if something is reported, then it must be accurate. It is possible, but unlikely, that a timeshare company reports. Delinquent dues may be turned over to a collection agency. A CA is more likely to report their accounts. What I know is that any debt can be reported to a credit agency. I don't know if this is the case of delinquent membership dues. Yes, it can be reported to a credit agency as delinquent membership dues can be treated like debts.

If the homeowners' association has recorded covenants and/or bylaws against the home in question, and the dues required by the covenants and/or bylaws have not been paid, a lien can be filed immediately in most cases, regardless of foreclosure or sale of the property.
