We
bought our timeshare in the early '90s. We had an annual and a
biennial. We had a lot of great vacations and fun times with friends
over the years until the resort was taken over by Northmont.
Like
everyone else, we were shocked to find under this new management we
were being charged a fee for a timeshare we owned regardless of
whether we stayed or chose to leave the resort at this time.
In
hindsight it is all a bit of a blur. After several law firms got
involved and we were able to form a group with like minded people to
fight this blatant “scam” - around 1,500. We were directed
eventually to the law firm of Geldert Law. That is when this
downhill slide began. Gross incompetence, inexperience, complete
lack of communication to our group and “behind door” meetings on
behalf of all 1,500 of us has resulted in this criminal predicament
we have been placed in. The evidence was there. Not to mention our
persecutor is a Master of deception with a highly disreputable
reputation and has his game down pat. Another known fact, and the
trail of destruction is well publicized.
The
courts have ruled. Our lawyer has failed us miserably and in my mind
completely misrepresented our group leaving us with his carnage to
clean up.
Our
bill is more than three times what we paid to purchase back in the
early 90's. It's in the ten (10's) of thousands of dollars. We have
been denied access to the timeshare since 2013 but charged continued
high maintenance fees with a 26.8% interest rate!!!
