Re: bankruptcy (by Molly U.):

In reading this thread, I wanted to clear up some inaccuracies in this post...this owner names Southwind Management Corp(SMC) in documents stating that "French Quarter is now SMC" this statement is not correct, SMC is the management firm for the resort. This owner mentioned a letter in which legal action was threatened against him. Below is an excerpt of that letter:

"Southwind Management Corp is strictly the management entity for the French Quarter Resort Association and at no time participated in any sales activities or related representation made during the sales presentation. Further, no individual outlined in your letter was ever an employee (or independent contractor) of Southwind Management Corp. We suggest you consult the documents provided to you at the time of your purchase and file whatever complaint and claim you believe you have with these parties. Any malicious action taken against Southwind Management Corp will leave us no choice but to seek the advice of legal counsel."

As you can see the letter sent to this owner was in no way threatening and simply stated we would "seek the advice of legal counsel". Mr. Williams is the COO of SMC and as such would be the author of this type of correspondence. The letter was informative and meant to clear up some confusion on the part of the owner who incorrectly stated some information.

I disagree with the notion that Southwind Mgt. Corp has nothing to do with this "mess". in June 2010, I paid Timeshare Advocacy Int., Mount Juliet, TN $2,000 to use their method of writing revocaton letters as to cancel my timeshare with french Quarter. I even made a phone call to tom Williams in hilton head, S. C. regarding my request. Mr. Williams replied: "that the present staff had no part or assisted in my timeshare purchase in 2006 . therefore if I continued in my request for cancellation of the French Quarter timeshare, Southwind mgt. corp would consider legal action against me." I still have his letter in my file dated in June 2010 . The results from Tenn . Attorney General only sent copies of Timeshare advocacy indicating that the whole matter was my fault. IN reviewing the matter with Commerce Bank Visa management. it was discovered that timeshare adovcacy did not even have a signed contract for cancellation of a timeshare. I appreciate Commerce Bank Visa in accepting this fact and reversed the $2,000 . bottom line, tom williams is aware of all of the financial transactions and now, since his firm filed bankruptcy for french quarter, and a Williams in branson does the correspodence, Mr. williams is quite aware and is responsbile for this mess since his take over in Jan. 2007. and he Writes" That if I were to continue in my requst for cancellation of French Quarter timeshare, Southwind Mgt. would consider Legal Action against ME>
