Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Vanessa S.):

I agree with Rosemary. I did not pay my maintenance fees for this year. I am done with paying maintenance fees now up over $2,000 to be told to turn into RCI points, if I was not happy with availability of my nights at TMC. That is what I was told when I tried to give back my timeshare after many years of battling to get a room for an overnight stay. I have traded my timeshare for the last four years or more because I did not want to deal with TMC and disappointment in not getting to use it. I also tried to talk to MC representative about the buy back/give back. I feel that at this time there is no way out but to not pay maintenance fees. If everyone of the "unhappy" owners decided to NOT pay the fees we would have the managements attention. This I feel is the only way for us at this point. The Developer would get the message that he can no longer "scam" owners.

Is there any way to expand the class action law suit to all members? It is a travesty that owners who are spending 2500 dollars a year in maintenance fees cannot get a night to use in a nine month time frame while non-owners can rent a manhattan club room at the last minute through trip advisor or hotels.com! There are NO Manhattan club owners who are "happy". If we could use it, maybe we'd be happy! I was told by a Manhattan club "representative" who came to my house that I should trade my club membership for RCI points and then I may be able to get into the club. I didn't spend $28,000 and yearly maintenance fees up to $2500 now to use RCI points! This is literally a crime and these guys should be sent to jail! Isn't it an interstate crime to be marketing sales to people from other states with the knowledge that the product you are selling is a scam?
