Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Chris V.):

hello carole487, yes, our finances are being hurt, some owners more than other owners, by the exorbitant TMC maintenance fees. i do not like the actuality of being robbed annually. that's the reason for my suggestion of establishing THE COALITION OF FINANCIALLY DISTRESSED TMC OWNERS. this entity could possibly afford owners access to a list of names and contact information of most/many owners. this information has never been made available to us owners; i believe that even the past new york state attorney general, eric schneiderman, couldn't obtain said list. (frankly, i don't believe he used all of the resources available to him. this so-called settlement was a pittance of what it should have been, so consider ourselves to still be victims of fraud and financially negative manipulation.) ................................................................................................ANYWAY,...........................................................................................

this COALITION could work if enough owners become involved. yes, we would all need to pitch in to collect names. this would involve our making our email addresses available for other owner responses with their names and contact information, i, e., names and/or email/phone info. a less likely alternative would be to use the redweek.com TMC forum thread to accomplish the collection of this information.

i need responses/feedback from as many owners as possible active in this forum, to get the process of forming this coalition underway. comments, addendums, suggestions, expertise and a desire NOT to be continually SCREWD BY TMC are obviously essential. our efforts could be funneled to various media, e.g., newspapers, tv news stations, et al. with "news tips" made by emails preferably, or phone contacts. THE CASE WAS "SETTLED" (LOL) BUT THE LEGAL ISSUES LINGER. i think that if over 10,000 owners made their voices heard via this COALITION, someone, somewhere will take active notice. we have nothing to lose by trying this strategy.

hope to hear from you and other owners soon.

thanks,

chris
