Re: Diamond Resorts reduces owner benefits again! (by Irene P.):
Robert558 I questioned the 2011 date. This from horse's mouth AZ AG attorney Mia Garcia responded as follows and other information is contained in the article I wrote for Inside Timeshare. If you have specific questions you can contact me at Inside Timeshare.

I asked Mia Garcia, Arizona Attorney General’s Director of Media Relations to clarify who is eligible for the settlement. As I understand the AOD, the agreement applies to those who purchased in Arizona and to Arizona residents who purchased a Diamond timeshare anywhere. In an email response Ms. Garcia stated:
The settlement is not just for people who purchased from Diamond after 2011.
For all complaints filed between January 1, 2009 and January 23, 2017, the alleged conduct must have occurred prior to January 23, 2017.
For all complaints filed between January 23, 2017 and May 23, 2017, the alleged conduct must have occurred between January 1, 2011 and January 23, 2017.
In other words, if a consumer has already filed a complaint regarding conduct prior to 2011, they are part of the settlement. The 2011 restriction is only for complaints filed after January 23, 2017.
Ryan Anderson, Communications Sections Chief for the Arizona AG office provided the following FAQs concerning the Diamond settlement.
