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

We have points in Hawaii and also Mexico. At the last meeting we were told that we could switch out of Hawaii and be exclusively in Mexico which we wanted because we prefer Mexico. We were told that we could be assessed fees having points in Hawaii but not in Mexico. We were also told that we could lower our maintenance fees (dollar-for-dollar) while in the meeting which was another reason that we purchased more points. We were also told that the sales representative would give us up to $5000.00 of of airfare for coming down to Mexico. That was not represented in the contract at all and that is part of our dispute. Unfortunately two owners signed without really looking at the contract and when we were getting ready to pay our bill it was when we first noted that some of the paper work was different than when we had our meeting. We had 4 out of the 5 owners at that meeting in February and contacted Hospitality Services with a letter in March. We have been accruing late fees and their last letter to us stated that we could be sent to collections. Should I call the lawyers? Please advise. My husband and I (2 of the 5 members) are over 60 years of age and we have purchased points in the last 4 years.

Whether to pursue legal action is of course entirely your own personal decision to make, but I respectfully submit that whatever you may have been "told" (i.e., verbal statements alone) is really of no particular legal meaning or consequence. Only what is specifically contained in writing within the four corners of your signed contract ultimately means anything at all. This fact is probably even very clearly stated in writing within the contract itself!

Lying timeshare sales weasels are the lowest form of life currently inhabiting this planet. Those deceitful weasels actually make decaying pond scum look good by comparison.
