Was notified today that the Competition Bureau, will follow up on my complaint of FRAUD!

This is great news! Ok everyone, if you haven't yet sent a complaint about your injustice to the Competition Bureau NOW is the time to do it.

http://www.competitionbureau.gc.ca/eic/site/cb-bc.nsf/frm-eng/GHÉT-7TDNA5

There is strength in numbers! The more of us that send our story the more it will send up red flags. Even if you send a short note, it will be added to the total number of complaints.

Also, do send a message to our leader at justin.trudeau@parl.gc.ca! Include our deadline of Feb. 15 in your response to those that read it to make them aware of the urgency for action! With enough responses, we will get noticed!

To be silent and do nothing but pay is exactly what MG & KW want which is just not right!

I have been re-reading some of the documents that Geldert has asked us to sign.
The Option 1 vs Option 2 form is just asking if you want Geldert to be your lawyer (Option 1 - yes, Option 2 - no).
So what if I didn't want Geldert to be my lawyer anymore after I chose Option 1. There's nothing stopping me from getting another lawyer or releasing him as my lawyer.

So in other words, does it really matter what option you chose? You could get out of Option 1.

This is my understanding but correct me if I'm wrong. Aden2 you referenced this quite a few times and I now understand your point. Were you successful in getting out of option 1?

 

[ecwinch]

Geldert Law that would generate $100,000 [in revenue] for legal services to be undertaken by Geldert Law, which would be held in a trust account [that will be slowly drained]."

What amazed me is that two lawyers make up the leadership of their owners group. I always thought that sharks ate their young.

 

[dotbuhler]

I, too am from SK, I started the on-line petition at thepetitionsite.com Search under Dorothy Zazelenchuk. I have forwarded to Cathay Wagantall, Yorkton, and other sitting members some in Calgary, Edmonton and St. Albert, as well as the bc.ombudsperson.ca, media@consumerprotectionbc.ca,Jody Wilson-Raybould, Minister of Justice and Attorney General Canada. This is just the beginning, I will do this every day for a few hours. Please continue to sign and share the petition. It has 338 signatures in under 3 weeks. The target is 1000. Family and friends who see you caught up in this ordeal can also sign. EVERY signature helps. Thank you and STAY STRONG.

I'm in Saskatchewan, unfortunately.

I agree it is my understanding K.W. is the man of all seasons, total ownership.

 

[Petus@18]

Q: do we know when exactly the settlement was obtained? Was it December 19th or earlier?

 

[Palms to pines]

MG emailed us on Dec. 14 that the settlement had been reached. He sounded sooo excited, just had to let us know! Also, he had cancelled the petition for the next morning. So, that was the night he reached the “excellent settlement “, threw in the towel and threw us under the bus. Merry Christmas!!

Don't know if he owns it, but he sure as heck runs it.

Bill 31 passed on Dec 13, 2017. Might that help us somehow?

 

[CleoB]

Bill 31 passed on Dec 13, 2017. Might that help us somehow?

Bill 31 simply added upon the Fair Trade Act of Alberta.....something that Geldert should have used from the get-go but didn't even though many of his clients pointed this out to him.

Thank you for the information you provided to the Competition Bureau regarding Northwynd Resort Properties.

The role of the Competition Bureau ("Bureau"), as an independent law enforcement agency, is to ensure that Canadian businesses and consumers prosper in a competitive and innovative marketplace.

I wonder why he waited until December 28 to give us the option to relinquish the settlement? He probably did it on purpose. I am sending follow up letters to the Law Societies. I am planning to add this info. He gave us less than 24 hrs to opt out, isn't this illegal? Maybe not, but it sure sounds he did it for a purpose. See the answer he gave to someone who phoned him:

“Lawyers make decisions because that is what they are hired to do. Sometimes the settlement is not always great. Northmont gave Mr Geldert the gears and said “this is our offer, you either accept it or else”; as such he would not have possibly had the time to consult with all of us to make sure we approved. We signed option 1 giving him permission to make decisions for us. His words: "They are not happy that they were forced to leave money on the table by this Settlement Agreement. The number for those who are not party to the Settlement Agreement will only go up"; when I asked how they possibly left money on the table since we are being charged fees from past years as well as a hefty interest, he replied "Northmont prefers that people pay to stay and later, that they pay even more to cancel. The aggregate will be significantly more for them over time."

So I guess Option 2 or people that opted out were "the money that was left on the table". This to me proves that his message on December 28 was deliberately sent that late to ensure less people could opted out!

 

[LilMaggie]

If they want us to stay and charge us more to leave later, why won't NM accept our payment for the bill they sent out? Is it in any way legal for them to charge $16000 to cancel a lease in good standing or can they "charge anything they want to" per MG?
I know their methods are not ethical.

I also have a meeting with my MLA in one week.

 

[Shake Down]

So in other words, does it really matter what option you chose? You could get out of Option 1.

Questioned this as well.
Could it be argued the MG letter from Oct/2017 Re Choose: Option #1 or Option #2, was a merely a voting ballot? After all it states “Please confirm the following, you elect “Option 1 or Option 2.

Check off a box, cast a vote! Now held hostage as "Option 1 client" and its fallout? Crazy and now that I think of it, that’s how politics work.

 

[ladybug2]

Just followed this link and it certainly does look like Mr. Docken is pursuing a strategy for a class action against Northmont and is actively trying to attract Geldert Group clients. Not sure what his strategy is or how it will impact our deadline to have to pay by the 15th or face the 162% increased penalty being added to our bill. I called and talked to the receptionist and was told to leave a voicemail message for his assistant and send an email with some of the details of my situation. I have done that so now we wait to hear back from them. The good news is that they say no fees from us, only payment is a percentage of anything that they win back for us. So my only concern is whether he can orchestrate a halt to our deadline of Feb. 15th until this class action can have a chance to proceed. Some glimmer of hope at least. Will keep you posted.

I just spoke with Higgerty Law and they clarified a few things to me. Their website says "people who have been subject to collection procedures on the part of Sauvageau & Associates" and they are not actively trying to attract Geldert Group clients and that their class action is not against Northmont. I was advised to speak to Geldert because I'm part of the Geldert group.

Great....I guess everyone is avoiding us like the plague. We totally got screwed.

Interesting. Analysis of the Jeke appeal in "The Lawyer's Daily", a website that "provides Canadian legal news, analysis and current awareness for lawyers and legal professionals...."

[Reaper]

Has anyone been called by collection agencies or SERV-IT...?

 

[FairNot]

Does anyone here know what happened to the people who converted their weeks to points? Did they get billed the reno fee too, or are they not considered "owners"?
