Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Becky F):

Chris, I couldn't agree with you more on ALL points. I am also in total agreement with your outline of what you want to come out of this entire mess we've all been in for years. I want to keep my TMC and I want my past due maintenance fees forgiven so that I can literally "start a new relationship with TMC" and at that point I can decide to either keep my timeshare or sell it. To think that we will all get our initial investment back is not reasonable. There simply isn't enough in the settlement to hope for such a thing. I simply want what I initially bought. I also want to thank Jeff, Irene, and all of you who have helped to make constructive comments on this site and keep us informed. My hope is that once all the dust settles, and we know for sure what we as owners will get from this nightmare, that we will each have freedom to stay in or get out of TMC. I'm sure of one thing though, now that the Eichners are out we will have more of a voice.

to those of us who THANKED ANY PRINCIPAL in the so-called settlement of the manhattan club lawsuit, SAVE YOUR THANKS. the nysag was doing his job, most likely NOT for the direct benefit of owners. currently we're still in limbo. NOBODY KNOWS WHERE WE STAND; we still don't know how or if the settlement will affect us. save your THANKFUL APPRECIATION for an official leader or entity that will help make us financially whole again offering us remunerative options that we owners deserve.

i for one want to keep TMC as my timeshare; i want any unpaid maintenance fees forgiven (i obviously couldn't use facilities that i didn't pay for but which eichner was quite able to rent out as hotel space and continue adding to his fortune for doing so!) ; i want maintenance fees to return to the level we were promised at the fraudulent sales presentation, and i want to be able to get reasonable reservation time, and not have to decide 9 months out for booking, i will gratefully THANK ANY ENTITY WHICH WILL OFFER US THESE BENEFITS WHICH WE ALL DESERVE AFTER 3 LONG YEARS OF COMPLAINING AND OVERALL REACHING, OUT PRIMARILY VIA THIS FORUM, TO PEOPLE WHO COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT US AS TMC OWNERS ABOUT THE FINAL OUTCOME OF THESE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS..

people who should be THANKED FOR THEIR EFFORTS ON OWNERS' BEHALF OF OWERS are those like irene smalls, jeff weir, and unnamed others who worked above and beyond for us. (forgive me if i left anyone else's name out who did something concrete for us, but we all know who they are!)

so save up your THANKS for those who will now show and offer us owners concrete benefits as beneficiaries of this legal victory chalked up by the nysag. if mr schneiderman didn't initially hear from us (rightful) complainers (owners) at TMC in the first place , he wouldn;t have had a case to call a victory for himself.

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO CURRENTLY DESERVE IT.

keep in touch.

chris.
