These thieves are banking on that most of us seniors will be dead in the next 5 to 10 years and with the help of the judges they will screw us for every cent they can get. They have no compassion for any human beings it is all about money.
Have you asked another lawyer about this? Seems to me that Geldert mislead everyone with the promise that "we would have final approval" on accepting the settlement.....then he backtracks and says everyone that signed is "committed". I think that means many signed under duress......and is that legal?
Floyd55 are you a lawyer yourself? Keep us informed and can you tell us what city or cities you operate out of. I am very interested.
timeshare is not a investment all that we had was a lease we do not own property. Get it straight.
If anybody had thrown out a well established legal firm willing to actually help us, I would maybe have a different opinion but the firms I have seen floated so far haven’t shown to be ready to offer up anything to this TUGs group. Not sure why you think possible Option 1 people are somehow undermining your efforts. Agree it’s not a 100% surety even with option 1 but does not the Court say that 162% will apply otherwise? Option 2 is no cakewalk either Spark!
So what in J. Branch’s decision or any court decision so far, showing any positive position for any of us? Somewhere along the line some judge or an elected official will have to agree with our plight for it to become a positive result. MG thought he could wait NM out and it didn’t work so I am still trying to understand where we go next regardless of the Feb 15 extortion date?
I am not saying that. Timeowners believed in both MG and and the MLT AIKINS PDF by David Wotherspoon. I talked on the phone with MG and he even had me convinced this was a done deal getting Northmont to the table and they would have to pay that 25.4 million and this would bankrupt them. He was also protecting moving buildings out of the timeshare. What happened and if you read the MLT AIKINS PDF, this document totally protected our Lease Contract. Why did MG change over night and became a bill collector? What we have to do now is have every one that have paid the extortion or decided not to pay please send a copy to Honourable Navdeep Bains. This Minister is the man that we have to deal with CONSUMER PROTECTION. Did we ever sign anything with NORTHMONT? We have not. What is Northmonts Consumer Protection? I have sent many documents to the PRIME MINISTERS OFFICE and now the Executive Correspondence Officer for the PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE has moved the file to the HONOURABLE NAVDEEP BAINS. We all have to work together and when the Minister sees the millions being extorted, how can he not see there is no CONSUMER PROTECTION. Timeshare is no different than any other business and Consumer Protection is very important. If need be i am willing to meet with the PM and MR BAINS. email Navdeep.Bains@parl.gc.ca Ph. 613-995-7784 Constituency 1-905-564-0228
Can you please provide me with page and paragraph that spells out "the right to use" so I can reference it in the letter? Thanks
This link to the Canadian Consumer Handbook section on timeshares mentions both "right to occupy" and "right to use".
This might be of interest by comparison with USA protections: American Resort Development Association's definition of "right to use". Also note, "Home Owners Association (HOA) – The group of owners that administer the rules and regulations of a resort. Creation of an HOA is often required by state laws."(Emphasis added) We would have had greater protection from the Fairmont/Northwynd developer (and resort owner) had such an association been mandatory in BC, AB!
This is copied right from the consumers handbook - MG used these unfair practices as I have underlined. He needs to be held accountable ....off the the BC law society I go once again
Unfair or Deceptive Business Practices
Most provinces and territories have laws that protect consumers from unfair or deceptive business practices. Generally, an unfair or deceptive practice takes the form of a claim that would likely mislead the average person or a claim taking advantage of a person's inability to protect their interests during negotiations.
When you believe you have been deceived, contact the Competition Bureau, the Better Business Bureau or your provincial or territorial consumer affairs office. When the complaint relates to labelling or advertising of food, contact the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
Consumers are also protected against Misleading Advertising.
Yup, sure did.
