Ning55 This is my opinion. By not paying the settlement, you did not agree to the "excellent" deal made by the lawyers. There has been a ruling in the Alberta courts on the interest rate that Northmont, Northwynd is trying to collect which your 1999 contract would be under. The ruling has been appealed by Northmont and will be ruled on shortly and my opinion is that Northmont will loose. You can read the ruling by Judge Young on the Sunchaser web site. The amount of the settlement was based on the 26.82% interest rate. You may want to look into the consumer protection laws in Washington. The Alberta consumer protection law has changed and the North what ever company falls under Alberta law. Our contract states that we "own" at Hillside which has been "sold" to another numbered company, yet the new company is going to sell them again, which may make for some interesting court cases. Think about the Legacy for Life - that "ownership" starts at the end of their 40 year lease. KW is going to be busy defending the breach of contract with his ex lawyer and collection agent. There are a number of people that paid to stay, and most of them do not know what has happened.

Are you sure the bill was from Northmont or was it from Northwynd.

The bill is from Northwynd. We thought Northmont is Northwynd, they are the same company.

Thank you very much for your advice and updated info. My husband and I were just thinking this morning about contacting our state department of consumer protection, then I saw your reply. That is great advice and we are doing it right now and will let this forum know the result. Thanks again for your reply and advice!

I just talked to somebody in Washington State Department of Consumer Protection. He said I could file complaint against Northwynd on their website to let them know and they would appreciate it. He said they would send something over to Northwynd but didn’t think Northwynd would care much since they have got the court judgement and consent settlement in favor of them. He said they could do nothing about it if we get lien against us. He also thought I should file complaints with BC and Alberta consumer protection departments and get help from them.

Freedom to Choose Freedom to Leave was set up by Northwynd and our Trustee to bring in millions to look after the Bond holders and were the Judges bond holders? I have a very interesting court case that took place in 2013 which will show you how connected Northwynd and Northmont where and read page 8 that will show you how connected our trustee of the resort Philip Matkin, Matkin Law Office was with Fairmont Resort Properties Limited Finance and the FRPL Management. THE WIVES AND THE KNIGHT (COLLIN Knight). You will see when you read this why i see this was a planned BANKRUPTCY. Send me a email and i will email it to you. Maybe you can help other great neighbors to the south that need it.

Ning55 the amount of your invoice is for the Settlement amount, NOT what Judge Young ruled. The courts did not grant the amount of the invoice. Good luck with North whatever getting a US court to enforce a settlement amount. The big issue is going to be the interest amount. Do they have a US lien against you? Why does "take a flying leap" sound correct.

You have to understand that Collin Knight was not the only owner of the Fairmont Resort Properties LD. He also had 3 women that owned 25% each of that resort and Collin Knight owned the other 25%. One of these women was our Trustee’s X-wife and the other two were connected to his Lawyer Firm. Should we assume there is a conflict of interest here. This Trustee also designed the Freedom to Choose which we all know had nothing to do with our contracts. Why did he have to use the Supreme Court of BC to inforce this White Collar Crime on us. This was a unfair Practice and Albertan’s should of been Protected by Service Alberta and been able to use the Fair Trading ACT To fight this. BC owners should of been able to use Protection BC. The Government of Canada and these Two provinces proved there is no Canadian Consumer Protection for Lease Time Owners in this country. The owners of Rafter Six also lost everything because of this planned bankruptcy. My first phone call pertaining to this white collar crime was made to BBB in Calgary and they told me when this all started why would you pay anything,it is so easy to go bankrupted in this country. Was he so right. We all should be working with Richard Gotfried and give him all the information we can that he can use in the House of Commons. Because the owners are from Calgary there are two departments that failed us that being The Justice Minister and The Service Alberta Minister. The Service Alberta Minister resigned and I can not wait until May 2019 to say good by to this NDP party. Also 2019 so we can get rid of this terrible Prime Minister. Canadian Consumer Protection for Timeshare Lease Owners means nothing to these two governments.

Call or send a letter to your local FBI office. Also look up the foreign monetary recognition act and how Washington state looks at claims against you out of the USA. I’m in the USA as well.

Thank you very much for your reply. As of yesterday, we have not got the lien against us yet while checking with the credit bureau, but the bankruptcy attorney we consulted with said Northwynd could just pay $50 to transfer the judgement over and put a lien against us. I am going to our county government today to confirm that information. I sent a letter to Richard Gotfried’s Office yesterday and Christina replied right away saying that Richard is collecting the information and we should send her the details. I just talked to her this morning and asked how much and when Richard could help us. She said the election will be next spring not this fall and she was not sure if he could be elected. Even though, she said, he is elected, amends the leslation but not sure that would affect the cases before that.

Please send it to me, my email address is nancyningchen@gmail.com. Thanks.

We just consulted with another attorney friend who was very angry to hear our story. He looked at Item 13 in our 1999 lease contract which says: “In the event that default in payment is not remedied within 16 months from the date of such default, then the Lessee shall be deemed to have offered to sell the Lessee’s leasehold interest to the Lessor for an amount equal to 50% of 1/40 of the purchase price for an annual lease or 1/20 of the purchase price for a biennial lease”. He said: “you do not owe them any money according to this contract; it is illegal for them to change the contract without your acknowledgment and signature; and I will be more than happy to help you to sue Northwynd if they put a lien against you”. It will cost them money, he also said, to hire a local attorney or to come up here to defend themselves, and that is why you have not got the lien yet”. OMG, such a relief after talking to him and you, helpful people in this forum! I could not sleep after we got this outrageous $56,000 bill on 9/6/18. Thank you very much again for helping us isolated Americans! God bless us all!

Hi Torqued, I missed your reply this morning. You also live in the US so we are in the same boat. Please contact me by email so that we can talk! Thank you very much!
Sorry I went ahead and sent you the email but I just went to the near bottom of page and missed your conversation with each other and happy to see you working together to fight these crooks. I have sent many documents to Richard Gotfried and was happy to see he won the nomination for the United Conservative Party. I have suggested on Facebook that when the PC’s win this election which they will and Richard will win,that he gets the Service Alberta Minister Job. Of course that will be up to Jason Kenny the new Premier but hears hoping. He is the only Minister to step up and help us. If the last Minister would of done her job we would not of had to put up with this. She does not even know
what Consumer Protection Means, sad. Michael Geldert is a back stabber. I talked with him just before he decided to be Northwynd’s bill collector and he convinced me that we had this won in our favour. He told me he finally got Northwynd to the table and now they will have to pay the 25.4 million they owed and they will not be able to sell the timeshare building and i did believe him so I checked item number one. When I found out he became their bill collector I fired him. He should go to jail. Justice Young will win the appeal pertaining to interest rates. Can you imagine them charging 26.8% each year compounded and this money needs to be paid back to Vacation Villa Lease Owners.

I feel every one should read over the SIF document that MG was having Vacation Villa Lease owners check option number one or two. Read this document over again and see if you see if MG mentions Northwynd even once. No he does not. All he mentions is Northmont. For the lease owners that paid where did the money go. There can be another company named Northmont. As far as I am concerned that document is not legal. We owe Northmont nothing. Why was it so important for MG to collect from Lease owners when he new Justice Young was ruling on interest rates around the same time. MG also new Northwynd had a sale for the Hillside Villas so why did he come up with this scheme to collect millions from us. What did Kirk Wankel pay MG to be their bill collector because he needed MG badly because there was problems with Kirk Wankel and Sauvageau. Francois Sauvageau has a lawsuit against Northwynd he feels he is not getting enough of the extortion money.
I see there is 350 hits on Tug every day and not many posts. Do many of you fall under the gag order yet? It would be nice to see more posts. Paying these extorters is not the answer.

Cannot agree more! This is not just the money issue, it is the fight between justice and crime.

Yes, I live in the US. And I have received no correspondence, not even a copy of the withdrawal of service document filed by the lawyers this summer.

Lucky you! However, they might be behind on collecting. The consent judgment notice we just received has the B.C. court seal dated June 26, 2018 for lower amount, then they added interest (at 26.82%) $9,000 to the current total amount of $56,000. In the notice, they threatened that the interest is accruing on the daily basis, we should pay them right away to avoid the enforcement of the Judgement.

I called FBI and filed a complaint with them on Northwynd today, and it has been recorded. They encourage American victims to call their Public Access at (855) 324-7257 to report this scam.
