Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Jeffrey W.):

Hello again, I have been reporting on the Manhattan Club legal issues for months on redweek.com. If any of you have questions about the case, send me a note. But don't expect the mainstream media, especially TV, to cover this story unless there is a major development, such as an indictment of Manhattan Club principals. If the AG's case ultimately is dropped, the NYTimes and other dailies probably won't even cover it with a paragraph. The real question for MC owners is what to do with next year's maintenance fees, which are due for many very soon. Since the club is enjoined from pursuing foreclosures, you may have more flexibility to work with the club on payments, should you decide to keep paying them. In meantime, I will update RedWeek.com forums for any updates on the case. One thing you should also be aware of: the Manhattan Club pulled down all references to timeshare sales on its web site, which suggests they are complying with court order to stop timeshare sales activity. If any owners have additional information about how the club is operating in the meantime, or if you are hearing differing stories from owner services personnel at the MC, let me know and I will check it out.
