Re: Can't even give them one star (by Allie F.):

I will also try to attend your court date. I agree with the other person (kt?), that many people should try to be there for support. I may be there soon - I finally quit sending them money.

Even though it is not factual info, I was wondering if you brought all the complaints from this website and complaints filed with the BBB, if it would help.

I am pasting info I received from the lawyer, Mr. Sadler, regarding a legislation hearing that took place in August.

I have learned from an article by Anne Marie Morgan on Va. Public Radio that there was a hearing to see about proposed changes in Virginia’s Time-share Act. Unfortunately this hearing took place on August 15 before I heard about it and it was attended by Frank Eck and Philip Richardson, both lobbyists for the time-share industry. Frank was the lawyer who drafted the documentation for Club Land’or. This is your chance to have input on legislation in which you are vitally interested.

I have my list of problems which I am happy to share should you be interested they include stronger enforcement to protect against false and fraudulent sales practices, over selling, endless special assessments, renting out time-share units and charging expenses to the association. My current list is 18 items and growing. Most important is that you take a moment to tell the committee members what you think needs fixing. It is not my opinion that is important, it is yours.

Please take a moment and communicate with the legislators writing this legislation. I set forth their contact information below. Please copy the executive director as well as she will be responsible for coordinating the input into the stature. If you can remember, please send me a blind copy of what you send. If you know anyone else who might be interested in this legislation, please let them know as well.
