Consolidated Resorts....does this have merit??? (by Mark W.):

Ok, so I just returned from my week at Club de Soleil. I bought it as a resale last year. My g/f owns at Tahiti down the street. My unit is titled to me, the primary and her the secondary. Hers is just titiled in her name. We went to an owners update and I'm wondering if our liason was blowing smoke up our butts. The owners update was for her unit. They wanted nothing to do with discussing my unit. I forced the issue though. In our discussion, we were told that my g/f needed to get her name off the title of my unit because Goldman Sachs, who now owns Consolidated, would start taking perks and priveledges away (like extra weeks through Interval, priority bookings, etc.) in order to keep their profit level high. My thoughts in comparison was it was like if I bought a Ford truck with free oil changes for life from Dealer A and went and bought another vehicle from Dealer B, that Dealer A would cancel my free oil changes. The other thing was on my resale unit. First he said that Interval was going to stop trading resales within a couple years. He added that when you trade through II, Consolidated gives the worst weeks to II, thus making it harder for you to trade. Was this stuff made up, is it legal, do I ignore, follow the advice, or push the issue? Thanks
