Instead, the suits essentially claim "interference with their business practices". Ironically, one of those Plaintiffs is Westgate, arguably the sleaziest and slimiest timeshare operation to be found anywhere (.....outside of Mexico, anyhow). How sleazy do you have to be to actually get sued by the slimy likes of Westgate? ;-)
The Sept/Oct 2017 issue of TimeSharing Today has a story headlined, "Welk Resorts files racketeering lawsuit." The story says Welk filed a federal racketeering lawsuit against Reid Hein & Associates, operating as Timeshare Exit Team (TSET), and against two law firms. The suit was filed July 25, 2017 in the US District Court for the Southern District of California. Welk Resorts alleges that TSET purposely leads customers to break contracts with their timeshare resorts. In a news release Welk Resorts claims that TSET broke multiple California laws, including the California Vacation Ownership and Time-Share Act and teh California False Advertisng Law.
