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

If you would like information about additional class actions against Diamond Resorts join the Facebook page at the end of this post and PM me. I'm aware of two more.

If you bought in Arizona from 2009 to January 2017 you could be eligible for part of the Arizona Attorney General $650,000 settlement as $150,000 of $800,000 goes to attorney fees. I'm eligible. The press release contains a 37 page document all should read. One clause pretty much threw out the oral representation clause described by a timeshare attorney as a license to lie. To be eligible you must file a complaint with the Arizona AG. In the future anyone going to an AZ sales presentation or any Arizona resident attending a DRI presentation anywhere will be grateful for the terms contained in the assurance of discontinuance. DRI PR said DRI has a new Clarity program that will be rolled out nationwide that is stronger than the AOD.

Three families owning over 100,000 points have had their accounts either suspended or issued a cease and desist for renting. They were encouraged to buy enough points to cover maintenance fees. One only tried to rent one time on RedWeek but never got paid, Meanwhile I just sent DRI the name of a sales agent and the January 5, 2017 date of a presentation at the Kaanapali Beach Club recommended buying enough points so the owner could rent and make a profit like his wife did last year. The one family gave me permission to share their story. They are paying $2400 a month in mortgage and $29,000 in maintenance fees while the account is suspended for a year. They are a professional family buying points to share with friends family and clients.

I have been in contact with the DRI PR person. She does not work for DRI. She works for their PR firm. When I sent her and the DRI attorney an equally outlandish sales agent, she asked for the victim's name. I gave it to her and it got escalated to a DRI VP. The owner said it was the first time he had the email of a real person.

If everyone would just get the name of the sales agent, where the presentation took place and the date, send it to DRI consumer advocacy and stick with it to see the outcome, change would happen. I would much rather see DRI weed out the predatory animals than go after them with a lawsuit. https://www.facebook.com/groups/diamondresortsmembers/
