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

hello laurah136, all you have written here is indisputable, beyond a doubt! you can see that many owners represented on RW.COM are making attempts to right so many of the wrongs we have suffered at the despicable hands of TMC, the principals of which have no conscience. " What is needed is legislation." your quote. that should have been an extension of the former nys attorney general, eric schneiderman's litigation vs TMC. instead, all he got was a feeble SETTLEMENT, nearly worthless to owners. noting schneiderman's efforts, in his case vs TMC , should have perked the ears of LEGISLATORS, BOTH LOCAL AND NATIONAL, and then for them to develop legislation stopping this outright robbery, and establish consumer protection laws against timeshare thievery.

"The whole industry is fraught with scams. There are no regulations and the organization that gets your money purportedly to help you, helps the developer." again your quote. the scope of the fraud and scams is nationally timeshare-industry-wide. we need to publically confront our legislators to take notice of this thievery that is being perpetrated consistently. our legislators need to acknowledge this white-collar crime spree and write laws to stop its continuance.

i applaud all owners who are attempting to achieve justice for all TMC owners. each in his/her own way is contributing toward that end, including mr zimmerman and those who established the COALITION OF FINANCIALLY DISTRESSED TMC OWNERS. we can work together toward judicial satisfaction. on the other hand, if there aren't national and state timeshare regulatory agencies established to back us immediately, our chances of achieving justice with only the owners' efforts will continue to be a struggle and a major challenge; however, with perseverance, WE WILL PREVAIL

What is needed is legislation. All timeshares should have an exit program. What one does when younger becomes no longer feasible or wanted in later years because of age and because of all the costs that are added, whether it be by the timeshare companies or the exchange companies. We now have added to the brew companies that will get you out of your timeshare for a fee. The whole industry is fraught with scams. There are no regulations and the organization that gets your money purportedly to help you, helps the developer. Nip it in the bud.
