"Time Out":Soul
You told me of another group that you owned, then you wanted my legal name, my wifes legal name and our address. I dont believe you needed all that information to give me some advice. It was my understanding this site was created for the free views and opinions and help.
Everyone beware of people wanting personal information over the internet. My daughter works in the IT field and she warned me. Soul, I dont know your motives or care. Everyone beware of people wanting personal information
You sent me an email to join a group you owned and only would let me in with extreemly personal information. I checked out your "group" it only has 7 or so members.
If anyone has any helpful advice without the requirement of me divulging personal information i would be very thankful.
If someone thinks it would help me file to file complaint with the AG's office please help.
Thanks

I understand your concern about giving out personal information, but I can assure you that no deeds would have been returned, no attorney generals mobilized,no law suits would have been filed, and very little else (if anything) would have happened to help owners fight Festiva, Outfield Marketing, and Cliff Hagberg without SOU13's tireless efforts. If you go wayyy back in this thread you will see sou13 mobilizing owners, researching facts, sparring with the owners who bought the resort's unsold inventory to make money by tricking people out of their deeds, and much more to benefit ALL owners. SOU13 is why owners currently have a chance to regain their deeds from Festiva, an opportunity to kick out the unwelcomed owners taking over your resort, and SOU13 is the only reason that they are not continuing to take deeds as fast as they can from unsuspecting owners using outfield marketing's misleading sales tactics.
In the past the owner Cliff Hagberg disquised his identity and acted like an owner to get inside information on the the strategies SOU13 was using to fight back for the good of owners. Cliff also was caught using numerous fake identities here on this thread, so you can understand SOU13's desire to verify someone before letting them join the group.You can give SOU13 your personal informaton or not, but if you really want help give SOU13 enough information to join the group.
If you go back through the 1000's of posts on this thread to where SOU13 first started, and continue to the present, you will realize that all owners at both of these resorts owe SOU13 a debt of gratitude for thousands of hours of research on behalf of all owners. This is from one who owned at another resort Festiva is taking over and posted the first warning here. SOU13 read my warnings, investigated, and took it upon herself to stop them from taking over the resort she loves. SOU13 was offered money by the interloping owners to sell her week and get out of their hair a long time ago. SOU13 could have taken the money and run leaving others to fend for themselves, but instead stood strong and fought the battle. You can keep your information secret, you can research yourself, but if you don't join SOU13's group you are only hurting yourself IMO.
I can't understand why FAC members aren't in an uproar over this:
Time does not permit me to manually reproduce the contents of the letter today. If I can print a copy and then scan it into RTF tomorrow I will do so. Meanwhile, why no uproar?

"Festiva Hospitality Group passes this news along with sincere empathy as it has certainly felt the pain firsthand. As we mentioned last year, Festiva Hospitality Group (while under no obligation to do so) has subsidized the Adventure Club's bad debt in an amount approaching $1 million dollars in 2009. We mention the above contribution as we pridict that the news of this special assessment could be met by accusations and rumors spread among members through various internet outlets or at the resorts since there was such a large increase in maintenance fees in 2010."

I'm sorry if I came off as "condescending" when I'm really just "confused"!I want to thank everyone for your responses and advice. Soul, I am sorry if i offended you. From everyone who spoke up for you, I know you mean well. Anayway, it has been 4 years since I visited the Sandcastle Resort. Well, I called Festiva and booked a long weekend. I dont know if any of you have been to the resort as of late. I was amazed. The resort looks better than it has in 20 years. Granted the owners paid for it with the assessment, but its nice to see the improvements. We had a great time in P-Town. Hopefully they will renovate the inside next.
Sou13,
I will try to keep it simple. I am a Festiva Adventure Club member, I gave up my deed at Southcape plus 3k for points with Festiva. I used those points to reserve a long weekend at the Sandcastle Resort.
I still own a fixed and deeded week at the Sandcastle Resort.
As I stated earlier, if I could get my 3k and my deed back I would, however, I will not lose any sleep because I can use the points at any of the resorts in the festiva system. I was also informed by the reservation dept because i was booking short notice i only used very few points. Actually I can turn the one deeded week that i used to own at Southcape for almost 3 weeks at Sandcastle with the points from festiva. I can use those points for as little as 2 days (I think) maybe 3 is the minimum stay i dont remember.
