Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Debbie B.):

10/11/18. I lost $60,000.00 dollars paid the mortgage fully for the 1 bedroom TMC timeshare 2009 purchase thru a rep Judith Casao(something like that)...arrangement for payments thru Cris Anzonni(something like that)....I paid all the maintenance & taxes thru 2016 & stopped as the AG lawsuit found it was a ponsey scheme on Owners as tourists got reservations & I experienced repeated ‘not available ‘ for dates to book my week or usage for a night ....the bs I could use the gym facilities as a member weren’t honored...u had to be using your Week but the Business Office was available-although many times the fax machines didn’t work & the Front Desk would assist but then your privacy concerns were lost. The RCI pitch to exchange for elsewhere was a total waste-their Rep on site - turned out to be a lie as she never got anything exchanged .....I gave my points to an acquaintance.....It was stated TMC would purchase the Timeshare after the mortgage was satisfied but after the Litigation & this Bluegreen restructuring/ Lynn O Donnell says ....$10.00 is all that is being offered to take your name off the BS deed. It is unfortunate we Owners have no recourse as Lawyers for any type of Lawsuit find it’s an Ordeal - I did try to engage 1....Soo there is no Mortgage deduction for taxes & Real estate taxes are capped at $10k in NYS....It doesn’t do anything else for me .... sooo I am waiting for Lynn O Donnell to send me these papers that she says won’t be available for another 2 months... I have moved on thru this frustration & no longer will have anything more with this !

That sounds like a darn good deal if that is the offer. You save thousands with no strings attached??? Good for you.

Lynne must work for Bluegreen now. How generous of them to be willing to take back timeshares, so they can turn around and sell them in their big, new sales center they are creating. Granted if one wants to be rid of the whole hot mess, it's finally a way to get out ....one saves thousands in ongoing fees etc. or paying more money some other way to get out of it, but don't forget the initial investment of $25-$30,000 is gone. Don't know how these people live with themselves.
