I successfully got out of paying "special assessments" when thay sent the bill for the second one. If any of you saved the questionnaire that they used to require you to fill out about the contract you just signed, it defines "special assessments" as special assessments imposed by the Bahamian government. I have a copy of that questionnaire that I filled out if you would like a copy.

I will send copies to those that ask. I do not know what years they used this paper. The power of it exists because any contract is governed by the language in it. "Special assessment" is not defined in the contract. It is outrageous anyway, because using their definition, they could send us all a bill for $1,000,000 if they wanted to. However, on this questionnaire, it asked specifically whether I understood that I would have to pay the maintenance fee and "special assessments levied by the Bahamian government". This would show that we had an understanding, at the time of signing the contract that that is what a "special assessment" is.

None of the special assessments had anything to do with the Bahamian government.

I will be at the courthouse for you if you need someone to testify. I live in Virginia, about 2 hours from Henrico. Send me a reminder to E-mail address (tazzskins@aol.com). I have documentation to bring that shows what crooks they are.

Eric: Thanks for the checklist. I did find ours and it was a little different. It doesn't say anything about special assessments. I can only find that in the "contract" itself. I have made them another offer but haven't heard anything yet.

Who did you contact at Club Land'or with an offer? What kind of offer? Supposedly I am supposed to receive a copy of a "Letter of Particulars" from Land'or within 21 days of my original court date, August 22. This is to explain to the judge and me, an itemized summary of what they believe I owe them and why. This would include assessment fees. When I have my "trial" on November 14, 2011, I will be able to ask Land'or questions. This I am looking forward to. I have photo's of how run down the property is in Nassau, that my daughter took in June. Where the heck did all the money go that I gave them until 2008? That is when I stopped paying. This is a challenge and I only wish Virginia was a bit closer to Minnesota.

I will send some info this week. This could be quite exciting!!! Thanks a bunch! Christine

What ever happened with this? Was it resolved and how. Just received another special assessment.

Does anyone know how to get a class action started or some other legal action to reclaim extra fees and stop these fees.

Seems like a breach of contract to transfer maintainance fee expenses that are capped at 8% per year to a special assessment. Also the contracted noted 72 units available (per week) for use but 2 of the units ( total of 142 weeks are owned by the president or his family and not available to timeshare members. Another breach of contract? Are these unavailable units paying the assessment and all of the special assessments all this years? .

Does anyone know how to get a class action started against Land'or

Christine- I would like to join your suit. Do you know if that is possible? I live about 30 minutes from Henrico Court. I will plan on attending Please respond here and you can contact me at kltrink@comcast.net. Can any more information be added to the civil suit?

Do you have an attorney?

Did you know about the my posting below. regarding the 144 weeks - 2 units for the exclusive use of the president and his family, maybe even his friends.

Not sure how I was unable to see your posts when I posted.

Just found on a google search where the BBB (of Virginia I think) has 30+ complaints against Club Land'or. The more I think about this the more I want them to pay me/us for taking advantage.

Could I get a copy, thanks ir2cute4me@verizon.net

I don't understand how people are getting bought out of their contract, we have contacted Land Or and they tell us "we are not in the business to buy back contracts". We have paid ours off and offered to "give" it back to them or see how much it would be to get them to take it back, they will not deal with us (if we were behind in payments I think they would). LandOr has embarrassed us by calling family members when we don't pay the assessments on time, I just think we are all screwed... I live in Va.. I just don't think it's worth my time going to court, these people have everything covered in their contracts...

can I also get a copy ddmktm@yahoo.com

"we cannot arbitrarily cancel contracts and expect to be a prosperous business, nor would we be prudent in our responsibilities to all members who rely on us to maintain the Club as they have become accustomed. " "I would hope that you would be able to still enjoy your vacation property or the corresponding exchange privileges. However, if this is not something you could consider, you do have the right to sell, transfer or have a guest use your vacation weeks (pursuant to the terms and conditions of your vacation lease)if this is something you chose to do. Most who chose this route seem to find a buyer in a relatively short period of time. Once you have a buyer and your account is up to date Land'or will handle all of the transfer documents for you." Yea, right. I have been trying to get out of this since very shortly after buying since there was some fraud in the sales meeting. I unfortunately, did not have them answer my questions during that meeting in writing so lesson learned. I have not paid in over a year so I expect to hear from their legal department soon. I don't care who they call. My friends and family all are aware by now of what a dishonest company this is.

I understand how you feel, but Club LandOr will get their money. We tried to sell through people who sell timeshares for you, well that was another 500.00 wasted, still trying to sell after 5 yrs of paying this company, we give up!!!!!!! We are just going to file it understand "the stupidest things we have done in our lives" thank god it's not a deeded property

I believe this may be a violation of federal law. It is certainly worth a check.

I meant this a response to kathyp241, regarding harassing your family, but my email program does not hignlight the message I am responding to.
