Wyndham wanted you to cease and desist with your rental business.
You stopped renting.
Who backed down?
Wyndham froze my accounts and said they needed to do an audit to determine how it was that I had 90 million points in reservations but only owned contracts that generated only 10 million points a year They said they needed to do an audit...(no mention of rentals)
I spoke to a VP (Legal) He asked how it was possible that my account looked the way it did. That doesnt sound like bullying, but I was dealing with a lawyer from our first call.. It felt like intimidation. In any case I told him how I used the credit pool to strip future points out of the contracts and then sold the stripped contracts. I also told him that ironically, my buyer was Wyndham. (that seemed to upset him)
The audit was never done but they made me an offer. The offer was that i would sign all my ownerships back to them and in exchange they wouldnt sue me.
That felt more like a demand than an offer and felt like bullying to me. As I told my wife and anyone else that would listen to me. I felt like I was dealing with Tony Soprano and he had his foot on my neck when he made the offer
So no audit, no accusation of wrong doing just a pissed off lawyer that thought I had taken advantage of The Wyndham Worldwide Corp. and a demand to, (without compensation) sign my deeds back to them.. or they would sue me. By the way, the offer was never put in writing
Did I stand up to them?? You decide.
My response was. "Knock yourself out, You can do what ever you want, but Im not going to make it easy,
Sue me," and I hung up the phone
Was I bullied?, did I stand up to them? ...yes and yes
Did it work out well for me? Yea I think so, Within a couple of months I did sign everything back to Wyndham, (20 million wyndham points and 400,thousand world mark credits) in exchange for a ton of money
