Hello,

If you live in or made DRI purchases in California, Nevada, or New York, can you tell me if you were given a booklet called a Timeshare Offering Plan? This is a bound booklet with at least 100 pages.

This booklet is extremely important to any buyer, but I so far I haven't found anyone that was actually given the book. Whether you have or have not received the book, if you are from one of those three states I would like to hear your response!

Thank you!
Susan
I believe that buyers receive a CD that contains the Timeshare Plan, along with other documents, instead of a hard copy version.

Thank you TRO.

DRI does give out a CD but it contains the "Club Documents" and some other information about the properties they own.

The Timeshare Offering Plan is not supposed to be given to all buyers. Until this year, DRI didn't have an electronic copy of their TOP.

New buyers might get the TOP on a disk, but that would have to be reflected on the Receipt for Timeshare Documents that every buyer receives. I haven't seen any reference to an electronic copy of the TOP on anyone's receipt.

In some circumstances the failure to supply a buyer with the TOP is grounds for cancellation of the contract...no matter how long ago the purchase was made. It's important to reach as many members as possible to ask about this issue.

Here are more of her posts, on Redweek about Marriott Points. I guess her "friend" also bought Marriott points, in addition to DRI.

Helen please contact me at sbharbison@gmail.com. I think you have been misinformed about some things!

Just curious about why you think dealing with an attorney won't be productive? There are attorneys out there that will take your case on a contingency basis. I personally know someone that just got a full refund from a TS, by using an atty. The thing is, you have to go to an atty that specializes in TS and consumer law.

I assume you are referring to this statement from the email response I send to people that contact me:

"I've discussed the possibility of a class action suit with several attorneys and they are helping me investigate the possibilities."

Ty1on asked: "Susan, are you an attorney, or do you work for one?"

And this is my response:

"NO and NO! Nor am I trying to refer people to a given atty or any rescue company."

So let's try this again. I do NOT WORK FOR an attorney. I have not referred any DRI buyer to an attorney and I am not prepared to do so.
So what are you doing Sue? And for who? Is this just for DRI or are you trying to help all of the unsatisfied timeshare owners? It's very nice of you to offer your expert assistance by the way do you own a timeshare?

If you are still in doubt about this individual, check out Red week. She now uses susanb1439, and is blasting Tug. She should have deleted long ago.:clap:

indeed, all that effort on both forums is truly astounding for someone who is merely "trying to help out a friend" on top of that...all those requests in multiple posts asking people to "contact her" so she can put them in touch with upfront fee attorneys she knows...i cant fathom why anyone would be skeptical.

but of course, that too!

we consider it an honor when upfront fee companies or their representatives go out of their way to point out we are bad for owners or otherwise a sham!

means we are doing something right!

Brian, After much back and forth on Red week with susanb1439. She finally answered my question that I had to pose twice. I asked, "you must have had a really bad experience with your time share, and did you use a lawyer ?
To which she replied, "she never had one" but if she did she would have sought legal action.
Guess it all comes full circle and the truth comes out. Good call and good job on your and TUG's part :clap: BILL
