Re: Class Action Against Diamond Resorts? (by Irene P.):

Justin The answer is because money talks. Please join the DRI Facebook page below. It consists of close to 7000 Diamond members who are looking into deceptive business practices and aggressive sales and marketing practices due to the oral representation clause protecting developers and sales agents. They are not just a complaint site. Members do share information about their vacation experiences and share great stories about outrageous sales presentations and solicitation calls.

Intrawest owners that have been acquired by Diamond have their own Facebook page. Many of their members are from Canada. They had 100 members and now have 2,198! One member has an MBA and a PhD in finance.

There is a class action being looked into, but the information is not public. Complaints should be filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The CFPB is investigating Westgate (search BuzzFeed Westgate investigation) and Diamond is frequently mentioned as being on their radar.

The DRI Facebook administrator asked me to write a document explaining how to file complaints with government agencies in America. I condensed the information from timeshare attorney Mike Finn of Finn Law Group's "Survey of Agencies". You can find the document I wrote on this Facebook page:

Thank you for your efforts. I have been investigating Diamond for about 18 months. You can find my articles about Diamond on Inside Timeshare published in Spain and at Irene Parker The Street. I seek information from a group of 25 individuals. Eight are lawyers, including the Canarian Legal Alliance I met with in September. CLA has 2000 timeshare cases and 100 are against Diamond. Mike Finn has 500 timeshare cases with 20 to 25% against Diamond. To seek help from Canadian authorities there is a CARDA Canada's ARDA. The NTOA National Timeshare Owners Association is the only lobby type organization on the side of timeshare owners. They interact with ARDA and CARDA.
