Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Robert F.):

I spoke to both the Club and more importantly Asst. SG Farooq-they can definitely turn over unpaid maintainence fees to a collection agency-some where in this blog it's written that we have the right to explain our situation to the collection agencies, for what ever that's worth. Robert 788

I am also refusing to pay my ridiculous maintenance fees, which are currently due, and I keep getting calls from TMC which I do NOT pick up, with the same message asking for my payment. Luckily, they do not have my credit card on file! I just received a statement with Late Charges and Finance Charges, making my balance due a whopping $2,605!! I feel so ripped off and cheated by this experience. I hope I won't incur any negative backlash on my excellent credit rating by not paying this. Is it definite that the injunction prohibits them from attacking our credit if we don't pay? My timeshare is paid off, so it's just the maintenance fees I'm worried about. Am I at risk? Also, if I just pay the real estate taxes, where do I submit that payment, to TMC or directly to the state of NY? Thanks.

Curious to hear what collection steps or foreclosure actions have been taken by TMC against non-payers.

As things stand right now, TMC is enjoined from taking any foreclosure action against us for non-payment. By continuing to pay maintenance fees we are funding the very organization that is screwing us.

I'm stopping the automatic debiting of my account for mortgage payments, and will not pay the next maintenance whenever it is invoiced.
