Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Chris V.):

hello beckyf and all other RW contributors,

becky's formidable comments here further strengthen the reasons that we can't continue waiting for private legal action (as noted in this forum, but to date, no follow-up presented). see my comments suggesting that we again present/submit our TMC complaints (on the official form) to the new NYSAG, the honorable ms letitia james. she may have the legal power to appeal or put aside schneiderman's final court outcome and start anew with current complaints made directly to her. continuing to play this legal waiting game needs to end. TMC is fast-establishing new management strategies further complicating our distressful financial and other TMC issues. the more tangled the management principals become, vis a vis: TMC/EICHNER/BOARD OF DIRECTORS/BLUEGREEN, really who does what and to whom....... the more we continue to be at their mercy (or lack of mercy). waiting for action to be taken prolongs our financial agony. file your complaints with the new NYSAG, LETITIA JAMES ASASP.

What percentage of owners have stopped paying their fees?

I ask this because the Manhattan time share model is as follows.

When a time share owner does not pay their fees this is what happens. Each owners fees increase. Check your annual Manhattan financial statements. The escrow amount has increased dramatically and the each owners fees keep increasing.

To keep it simple: If all but one owner stopped paying their fees this is what would happen.

One owner would now be responsible for all the fees. The owner would not pay.

The Manhattan club time share would declare bankruptcy.

I’m sorry but This is all a crock of crap! For years Eichner skimmed $6M a year from a phony shell company which he took directly from the owners (AKAthe homeowners association) which put the operating budget into deficit. If there is blame to be had it should be placed squarely on Eichner’s shoulders! NOT on the shoulders of the owners who have stopped paying their fees because they couldn’t get time in “their own timeshare that they shelled out THOUSANDS of dollars for. The fact that the Manhattan Club is now A BOUTIQUE HOTEL (WHICH IS HOW ITS ADVERTISED) and no longer a homeowners association is evidence that the Manhattan Club is not what you thought you bought. So what if the Manhattan Club has to file bankruptcy! If you’ve been paying attention you’d realize your initial outlay is LONG GONE and your “investment” is WORTHLESS! You couldn’t even give it away if you tried. And, you’re paying more every year in maintenance fees than if you stayed at a nice hotel.
