Re: Anyone have experience with Castle Law Group, PC out of Tennessee (by Irene P.):
Orange Lake, Westgate and Diamond all sued Castle Law Group. Castle Law Group has questionable business practices. All the developers are on a campaign to kill all the lawyers. While the developers and the DOJ need to crack down on bad practitioners, the goal seems to be to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Some members, with high interest rate loans, concerned about their credit, do need to seek legal counsel if they reach a dead end with the resort. I have heard, as a volunteer, from the elderly or their kids, if parents are diagnosed with dementia, or suffering from medical conditions, like the army vet with blood cancer after living next to a burn pit in Basra, Iraqi - members that can't handle the 90 to 180 days of collection calls. As soon as an Attorney General has a complaint under review, or a member has retained a lawyer, the collection calls stop. My hairdresser said Diamond collectors even called her parent's neighbors - I can't reach them, can you go next door and see if they are home? Her parents were forced into bankruptcy over their vacation plan. The CFPB seems to be more proactive. They can make changes but it takes volumes of complaints. Please file complaints. I received this email yesterday: We have taken the following additional actions on your complaint:
We added your complaint to the CFPB’s Consumer Complaint Database on our website at consumerfinance.gov/ComplaintDatabase. Your feedback, as well as feedback other consumers may provide about this company, helps us make decisions about which issues and companies to investigate. If we take public legal action against the company that involves the issue you complained about, we will let you know. You can see public legal actions here: consumerfinance.gov/policy-compliance/enforcement/actions/. We have also shared your complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, which will add your complaint to its database for state and federal law enforcement agencies.
The CFPB appreciates your participation in the complaint process and your feedback on the company’s response. Both are important to us and to other consumers who may have the same issues and concerns.
Welk Resort sued Timeshare Exit Team, also accused of using lawyers that transfer deeds or point contracts to fictitious LLCs or individuals. There are many lawsuits. The motive the developers say is to protect timeshare members. The fact is that when the deed is fraudulent it hampers the hamster wheel - sell by deceit and bait and switch, finance with high interest rate loans and higher interest rate Barclay cards, foreclose easily when points are non-deeded, resell for full value. The good lawyers and the bad all impede the flow.
