dorothym, We have a Facebook page of 4,600 Diamond members going through what you are going through, if you would like to join. We don't allow solicitation or posts asking about a law firm or an exit company, because we promote self-advocacy, working directly with the resort. Members share dispute resolution experiences. https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiamondResortsOwnersAdvocacy/ We have volunteers across the country to answer questions about filing regulatory complaints, if you experienced unfair and deceptive practices. Diamond has worked with hundreds of members who resolved dispute, but they can't post because they signed an NDA. I was offered a refund, but refused to sign the NDA. Rarely does anyone need an attorney. Only if our volunteers are asked a legal question they can't answer, or they don't have the time or temperament to self-advocate. It's like having a part-time job. Furthermore.....you are not dumb. Among those who have reached out to our volunteers: a Tampa detective who worked economic crimes under cover, two counter-terrorism experts, two private detectives, a PhD in criminology, an ICE agent with a MS in criminology and contract specialist with Consolidated Edison. Seeing the look on my face, the contract specialist said, "I know, I know, but how many times have you bought cars and houses and relied on the ethics of the person sitting across the table. You don't expect them to bald-face lie." That is his exact quote. The question I am most frequently asked, "How do they sleep at night?"
