Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit-Early Maintenance Fees (by Robert B.):

Jills465,

My first recommendation to all TMC owners is to STOP ALL PAYMENTS TO TMC. By continuing to make payments you are funding their legal fight against us owners and the NY Attorney General. I believe that the AG has satisfactorily proven that the owners of TMC have been lining their pockets personally while orchestrating a massive fraud against all the timeshare owners. They have been stealing from us for years, through a very sophisticated, elaborate scheme using dummy corporations among other things, but stealing none the less.

Of course you have a right to know precisely what they are trying to bill you for. Your original contract and purchase documents should clearly spell out what fees you are expected to pay and when you are expected to pay them. That date should be the anniversary date of your purchase. But with your split week that should mean you are expected to pay every other year.

Repeating the recommendation of others, cancel all credit card permissions to TMC or they will continue to rip you off at every opportunity.

Definately do not pay anything more to these crooks until the AG's investigation and possible charges have run their course.
