Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Chris V.):
i have to wonder where any assistance (other than from the "johnny-come-lately" schneiderman and his deputies) was forthcoming when we were all summarily screwed by eichner and his den of little screwers. visit the NTOA WEBSITE, NOW KNOWN AS AVO. National Timeshare Owners Association changed its name to the ASSOCIATION OF VACATION OWNERS.....AVO
GOOGLE THE FOLLOWING: 1. THE ASSOCIATION OF VACATION OWNERS ...AVO 2. "THE NAMES OF TIMESHARE OWNERS' ASSOCIATIONS". THIS IS IMPORTANT! WHEN YOU GET TO.....I'LL CALL IT NTOA'S "MISSION STATEMENT".....carefully read what the association (formerly NTOA) says it offers to timeshare owners. (keep scrolling for more enlightenment on the support issues of associations that are purportedly in existence to help timeshare owners.) i have not heard from ANY TIMESHARE OWNERS ASSOCIATION during schneiderman's entire and ill-handled litigation process.
the ceo of AVO (formerly NTOA) is GREGORY CRIST, AND THE WEBSITE IS https://avoworldwide.com.
my assumption is that associations of entities are created to assist, inform, support and educate (and offer other help) to those who they represent. during these many years on this forum, the only representation i recall from mr crist was in august of, i believe, 2013-14. he appeared at an excellent meeting arranged by jeff weir, reporter/journalist for redweek.com, and other parties. this meeting was held in a masonic temple near chelsea, nyc. it was very well- attended by many owners who heard from jeff, greg crist, an attorney and the publisher of a timeshare owners' magazine and perhaps a few other speakers. owners had the opportunity to ask questions, some of which were answered keeping time constraints in mind. however, there were many well-put questions left with cloudy responses or not answered at all.
does any TMC owner recall any timeshare owners' association offering us assistance or support in our battle against eichner? perhaps we should seek the help they offer as associations created on our behalf.
