Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Renee I.):

I was a sales executive at the Manhattan Club for many years. I am also an owner. I bought flex time which Includes 3 weekends. I as my fellow sales associate co workers were told during our sales trainings and daily morning meetings that the maintenance fees would increase very minimal because our property didn't have the amenities as all other timeshare properties that are located in resort areas that have high maintenance fees due to the fact that those properties cost so much to maintain. Had I know that the maintenance fees were going to skyrocket, I would have NEVER bought a week of my own. Just like many of the people I sold to, and other owners who have bought in, I can no longer afford the maintenance fees. And I too could never get the days I requested when trying to book a reservation. I have been contacted by Ashley Potestio to relinquish aka "Give back" my share/unit. She is the manager of the "Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure Department". For those of you who have been contacted by Christine Stiles, we used to be co workers at the Manhattan Club together. She is now working in financial services based in PA.

Although I had bought my share at The Manhattan in cash, I am delinquent in my maintenance fees. I don't know if it is in my best interest to just "Give it back" after paying for my unit, plus all the years of maintenance fees I've paid in without inquiring about their class action suit. That is if there one even exists.
