Okay, Desitny, you want to challenge me. WELL I AM CALLING YOU OUT!
It is you who do not know what you are talking about when you wholesale challenge everything in my above post.
Lets go through my post that you completely disagree with point by point.
1) Festiva. You say I am wrong that they are dishonest. Several state AG's happen to agree with me on that. Do any agree with you? I didn't think so!
2) The concept of points ''conversiions'' of weeks ownership started in South Africa with some very unsavory characters. That is a fact. While overall, the concept of points began with Hapimag in Switzerland, the very first timeshare developer, that was sold as points from the very beginning not a ''conversion''. There was a lot of background on this on the old Crimeshare site, which I will try to get a link to where that is now reposted.
3) Club Leisure Group and Bullfrog Lamont disreputation organizations? I will find and post the Crimeshare link that backs my assertions there. Also you might want to look at the TUG thread on The Seapointer, one of Lamont's more recent victims, and where quite a few Tuggers own.
4) Several points clubs in South Africa have already imploded and their principles have walked off with assets. Again, a simple fact. One resort I have owned at in SA was one left holding the bag for lots of levies (what m/f's are called in SA) in one of those implosions.
5) That timeshare owners need to have representation on the HOA board in a mixed use resort? How can you possibly disagree with that?
6) That control of an HOA board by whole owners led to the crash of Bodie Island Beach Club? I don't know how you claim to know anything about that fiasco, but while I did not own there, I was closely involved throughout the process with the timeshare owners who were fighting to keep it open. I am very aware of what the underlying problem there was.
I think I have covered all the points in my post. Please tell me what you disagree with and why.
OK, here is the link that repeats all of the Club Leisure Group and general points club material from the South Africa board on the old Crimeshare site:
http://www.timeshareforums.com/foru...r-areas/93039-takeover-attempt-dikhololo.html Look at the 2nd, 4th, and 7th posts. An officer of Timeshare Consumers Association sent me the whole SA file from Crimeshare and I reposted every item dealing with Club Leisure Group in this thread.
