Class Action Against Diamond Resorts? Wanted good attorney (by Sarah K.):

Hello to those who's going through the similar situation as me. Could you please let me know if there has been any progress for suing Diamond Resort for this misconduct of business? Did anyone find a good attorney?

We recently purchased a Gold Membership for only ONE REASON - to pay the maintenance fee with the points. That's how the sales guy convinced us the reason to purchase a gold membership because it pays off. However, I found out it was a BIG LIE. You can not pay the maintenance fee until you became a top member- a Dimond member. The worst thing is, I just found out that even after you became a Dimond member, the price per point is so high, it's not even WORTH IT! It is TOTOTALLY A REAP OFF.

Based on a contract, they mentioned that only at the Diamond level, they will honor the member to pay with the points. Both my husband and I missed that after 4hrs of presentation and getting pressured by a sales guy to purchase more points, basically our bad that we didn't pay a close attention to the contract BUT TRUSTED the sales guy.

Please let me know if anyone also ran into the same or similar scenario. This is so TERRIBLE AND NOT ACCEPTABLE.

I am looking to take Diamond Resorts to court in an attempt to sue for damages as well as getting most of my money back. I'm looking for a good attorney as well as others who need to file suit as well. If there are any timeshare owners who share any wrongdoing please let me know and perhaps together we can move forward

I too was taken advantage of by DRI. I bought an ILX resort in Sedona, AZ. The MFs were reasonable, IMO. As soon as DRI bought it, the fees skyrocketed. I have just started a FB page so that maybe we can all band together in one place & get something done about this. I have a question for everyone. Was anyone given the option to opt out of DRI or to sell back your timeshare when they took over? I feel like I signed a contract with ILX, not DRI & shouldn't be held to DRI's horrible policies. Maybe I'm just being naive. Btw, my FB page:

Please like the page & share it with anyone else you know that is unhappy with DRI.

Also, if anyone is interested in a class action suit against DRI, please go like the FB page & message me, either here or there. There's strength in numbers! Let's stop complaining & start doing something about them.
