I am happy for your' victory. My last resort was to file for bankruptcy. I no longer have to deal with their lies. Several years ago I was wondering/ pondering, WHY would any business permit its income maker to detreated. Its not business logical, OR is it. My Hypothesis is: By keeping the majority or 95% of the units Run-Down, you will be booked into a subclass slum unit and therefore NOT WONT TO RETURN, and therefore use an exchange to another resort. (CLO is a Red unit resort year round.) The resort you traded for, is it in season, a red week or out of season. Point is, CLO pays to that resort only what it cost for when you booked it, or a specific rate, which is lower then CLO rates. They thereby retain the difference. ie. CLO unit you bought cost 2500, your exchange booking cost 1500. CLO makes a profit of 1000, without having to do anything. ie. CLO if they have 50 units x 52 weeks, that's 2600 income weeks or contracts. When they KNOW you are not coming back they can sell the same unit for the same week over and over. They could have as many as 26,000 contracts. Do the math. Then add on to that the other fees each is required to pay even if they never return again. It is unethical, but its a billion dollar business plan. That's why they laughed when Atlantis offered them 8 mil for the property. Remember, there are no US laws to protect you, so to speak. There are several other points I could mention, but I believe you get the point.
