Re: Class Action Against Diamond Resorts? (by KC):

Richard: I greatly dislike DRI and firmly believe that their operational practices are truly despicable (to which I would also add Westgate and Wyndham as well). I wish you luck.

That being said, the truth and fact of the matter is that BBB has absolutely NO legal authority whatsoever and is of NO significance to a deep pockets corporation like DRI. Some less than stellar "ratings" might result from unresolved BBB complaints, but big corporate outfits like DRI couldn't care less about such an insignificant little PR "blip".

Bear in mind that BBB is essentially just a toothless "paid membership" organization --- a "club" of sorts. I doubt that many corporate giants belong to (or care one little bit about) anything that BBB has to say. After all, how many people ever look at BBB ratings BEFORE voluntarily going into a sales presentation, signing on the dotted lines and paying obscene amounts of money to DRI, Westgate, Wyndham, etc.? Precious few, you can be sure.

Anyway, give 'em hell. I hope that your efforts get someone's attention and somehow produce results for you, but don't expect anything at all meaningful to result from complaining to the toothless and impotent "paid membership club" known as BBB.

P.S. I suggest that you edit your post above to delete your email address from the opening lines of your complaint copy. Otherwise, you are just openly inviting assorted spammers, scammers and other such parasites to contact you with offers of magic beans and "escape" secrets and other bogus scams that you surely want nothing to do with. They will also SHARE your email address with other parasites of similar ilk. Forewarned is forearmed.
