Hi All:

New to this message board... what a show this whole Manhattan Club Timeshare has become. Just wanted to ask the group.. Have you all continued to pay your annual maintenance charges while this is going on? Any insight from the AG on that and lastly.. what is the recourse from MC if you don't pay?

hi patrickb245, i've been on the redweek forum (THE MANHATTAN CLUB) for many months. yes, i just about share your take: it seems to be becoming a show, with a stale plot and no end in sight. i own 2 wks (one in the ridiculous "penthouse suites".........what a mistake!) the other wk is in a nice one bedroom. i did not pay maintenance on the penthouse....nearly $3,000.....HEY THIS IS FOR ONE WEEK!...but i paid about $2,500 maintenance for the one bedroom. TMC has sent me bills for the penthouse with usurious late and interest fees (possibly illegal...WHAT ELSE IS NEW?......TMC WILL PUSH THEIR GREEDY WAYS UNTIL SOMEONE STOPS THEM LEGALLY), getting to the driving question of what the hell is going on: NOT ONE OF US REALLY KNOWS OR, IT APPEARS, CAN LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING ANSWERS FROM THE NYSAG, ERIC SCNHEIDERMAN (WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T GENERATE ENOUGH VOTES FOR RE-ELECTION) OR TMC.

concerning your apt question "what is the recourse from MC if you don't pay?" WHO KNOWS. A WORD OF EXPERT ADVICE FROM THE NYSAG WOULD BE HELPFUL, BUT THAT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE FORTHCOMING. so the stale plot continues and we sit and watch ad nauseum. we owners are all weary of the comments that mr schneiderman is building his case. WHEN IS HE GOING TO MOVE ON TO AN ACTUAL LAWSUIT TO BRING THESE FRAUDS TO JUSTICE? THIS "INVESTIGATIVE" PHASE OF THE LAWSUIT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR. YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE. THE EVIDENCE IS THERE...............TELL IT TO THE JUDGE.

keep in touch,
