Hello I own week 21 Unit 801 and I would be interested in the class action law suit. Be happy to help in any way I can, just let me know what I can do. I would also like to see the pictures. My email is trishc82@gmail.com.

I am certainly glad to see these posts today. I have felt for years (long before the hurricaine) that Santa Barbara took advantage of their owners, but didn't realize we could do anything about it.

I am a fixed week owner and have never converted to points. I received a letter a few weeks ago saying if I converted to points they would refund/waive the special assesment fees. I did not even call them about it. I am sure the charge to switch over would have exceeded the special assesment not to mention the addtional maintanance fee. Did anyone else get this letter?

Trish, I got the letter, I own 4 units. They will refund up to $1,000 toward a one bedroom unit assessment, but you have to purchase points in exchange. I wasn't too interested with that, I believe the cost for points for a one bedroom was approximate $9,000. I have included you in my distro for communications to Santa Barbara's resort manager.
