Re: Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by C H.):

Sounds like you got the deed buy back. If so read the documents, sign, have notarized, make a copy and return. You will be out of the Manhattan Club and they eventually send you $100. That’s it.

I have been an owner since 1999 and only did not pay the maintenance fees and taxes last year for the first time. I did not travel to Manhattan last year due to the pandemic and so did not see my physician daughters working at a medical center in the capital region in up state New York. All of the sudden, I received a stack of documents from Manhattan Club a few days ago asking me to sign the various documents. I live in Asia currently and do not quite understand the documents which are titled Real Estate Transfer Report, RP-5217NYC, Combined Real Estate Transfer Tax Return, Credit line Mortgage Certificate and certificate of exemption from the payment of estimated personal income tax for the conveyance of real property located in NYC, Agreement of general release.....etc. In short, they are asking me to give up the deed. I have no mortgage.

In the early year of 2020, I asked Lynne to put me on the deed back list but have not heard from her since then.

Would anyone out there advise me what to do with these documents, ignore them and continue not to pay the outrageous maintenance fees ?? I felt scammed and conned a few years ago but did not quite know what to do when I had not known this Red Week site yet. I traveled to US once or twice a year to see my daughters before the pandemic. We last stayed at the Manhattan Club in 2019.

I know a lot of owners have stopped paying the ridiculous escalating maintenance fees for years and me too.

I need advice and suggestion, please. Thank you.
