Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Ben D.):

In early September of 2021 I informed TMC financial services dept. that I would not be paying my maintenance fee this year and would like to take the buyback option. I was told, and I quote "If you is no longer interested in keeping the property, as it is deeded ownership, you do have the right to sell/transfer the ownership. This can be done by posting the unit online or in the newspaper or you can use a Real Estate Agent or broker. We don’t offer a buy-back program. Please keep in mind that you are still responsible for your maintenance fees and taxes until the property is sold or transferred".

Then in mid-September of 2021 I received an email from The Manhattan Club Timeshare Association offering me two options. OPTION ONE (1) – RELINQUISH OWNERSHIP and OPTION TWO (2) – RETURN TO OWNER IN GOOD STANDING STATUS, by paying my fee. I chose option 1 and they sent me the paperwork which I returned in early October 2021.

Today, after 10 months of no contact with them, I received in the mail my $100 check from TMC. I am not happy to lose what I was sold as a valuable NYC property, but I take comfort in knowing that I still have the approximately $7,000 in my bank account by not paying my fee for the last two years and that amount will continue to grow for years to come (at least that is what I tell myself to ease the pain),

Good luck to all you TMC owners whatever you decide to do.
