Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit-Early Maintenance Fees (by Chris V.):

don't trust anyone at the manhattan club. DO NOT PAY MAINTENANCE OR TAX VIA CREDIT CARD (IF YOU CHOOSE TO PAY AT ALL). PAY BY CHECK: ONE CHECK FOR MAINTENANCE CLEARLY MARKED AS SUCH, AND ANOTHER CHECK FOR REAL ESTATE TAX, AGAIN CLEARLY MARKED FOR THAT PURPOSE. i would not put it past TMC to keep your credit info on file, even without your knowledge. who knows, they might be getting desperate, even though their bravado remains in place..............a good tactic to try to beat the system. mr madoff got away with it for an number of years before it and his conscience caught up with him, and the walls came tumbling down, along with his bravado!

Every year I get a bill via email about 6 months before it is due. I write back and kindly point out that my bill is not due for another six months. I don't hear from them again and I don't pay until I am ready to pay. My bill always has the maintenance fees and taxes clearly broken out. I also make it very clear on the phone and in writing that when I pay my fees, that the credit card number I am giving them is for a one time purchase only, not to be kept on file and they write back confirming that this is understood. I continue to pay my fees because I continue to use and enjoy the club.
