Here's another:

In the case filed in the United States District Court for New Jersey, the Complainant, Murillo, accuses RCI of marketing its program to RCI memebers as though they are the only ones to have access to the deposited timeshare weeks. The lawsuit summary introduction alleges, "As RCI tells it, each member can deposit his or her timeshare with RCI - thereby making it available for other members of the program - and can then withdraw a timeshare [that] another member has deposited. A key selling point is that only members of the program can access the deposited timeshares. This concept of a one-for-one exchange exclusively among RCI members is RCI's bedrock marketing principle. Unfortunately, RCI creates this image of its program through a uniform fraudulent, deceptive and unconscionable marketing scheme." On RCI's home website, it states "One of the most significant benefits of RCI subscribing membership is the ability to exchange into one of the many RCI affiliated resorts...Exchange Vacations are a great solution when you need to change the annual weeks you've been assigned at your resort. Simply deposit that week with RCI and choose a vacation at a time and place that works for you." The process sounds remarkably easy, but unfortunately for the RCI members, they're finding it anything but. Comments regarding the lawsuit that were sent in to "Timesharing Today" magazine vary from, "I have suspected precisely what is being alleged against RCI. I hope someone nails them good" to "Three cheers for the lawsuit," and "May I be in the complaint, residing in Maryland?"
