Have you sent your RCI settlement objection letter in yet?

[Carolinian Super Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close Carolinian]

The deadline for receipt of the letters of objection to the RCI class action ''settlement'', which in reality is more of a sellout by the class action lawyers, is November 20. There are instructions in another thread as to what to do. The judge was impressed by the 100 objection letters received last time. We need a lot more this time. The judge expressed some concerns and we need to give him the ammunition to go ahead and send this case to trial instead of approving the sellout. BTW, the class action lawyers would put $1.7 million in their own pockets for this backstabbing of their clients if the sellout is approved. Let's object to that as well.

In sent my letter in two years ago. It was the cancelation of my membership. I received some 3X5 card that I'm relatively certain had something to do with this so called class action settlement but it just went straight into the trash can. RCI can keep their exchanges and their membership. I'll keep my money and my resort weeks.

Sent.

My objections...

OBJECTION to the Pending Settlement

I object to the lack of discovery. RCI operates in a cloak of secrecy that automatically brings suspicion of wrongdoing upon them. They for years denied renting deposits intended for the exchange program, all the while insidiously expanding the renting of these deposits thereby reducing the pool of trades available to me. Only discovery could bring their true operations to the light of day.

I object to the Plaintiff attorneys receiving a million dollar fee while the truly damaged class receives nothing but trinkets.

I object that I have been a member of RCI for over twenty years and never have I seen notice that RCI is renting my deposits out for their own profit. Your Honor, you have already seen evidence of the unacceptable way RCI tries to sneak notice by the membership without their noticing it.

I want permanent transparency in the establishment of trading power of deposits.

I want the permanent right to see potential trades before my week is forever taken from me.

I want RCI to cease taking weeks out of the trading pool to rent out for their own profit. Lacking that, I want RCI to be required to prominently notify all weeks members of their practice of renting weeks from the exchange pool, and to also notify members on a periodic basis of the number of weeks deposited for exchange and number of weeks rented out.


I wanted to make more points but it is best to keep the letter to one page.

Doug, I understand what you are saying; but you and thousands of other FORMER RCI members are letting a tremendous opportunity "to make a difference" slip by!

Folks like you NEED TO OBJECT to the proposed settlement because you CAN!

Your NON-Objection speaks volumes about the apathy of the "class."

Timesharing and exchanging through major companies such as RCI, II, and others will continue to deteroiate if the Court eventually sanctions the proposed settlement. It is a slippery slope!

While you are NOT currently affected, those you care about, and millions of others will be affected by the wide-open "Court" sanctioned RENTAL of property meant for EXCHANGE and for EXCHANGE ONLY!

Please reconsider you position. You have nothing to lose except a few minutes of your time and roughly $1.41 for the stamps.

It is a VERY SIMPLE PROCESS TO OBJECT to see how simple go here:

One or two years of every RCI member either witholding deposits (use their own unit) or cancelling them membership would accomplish quickly what this class action lawsuit will never accomplish.

Yes,objection letters sent.

[JLB Please excuse me, I'm a Dick. Not a moron just a Dick Find all posts View Profile Close JLB]

I sent mine by email, and got a reply.

I am thinking of sending another one adding some comments I've gotten from feedback and the new no-refund policy, to show how RCI seems to be flaunting the whole thing, rubbing it in heir members' faces.

[regatta333 Member Find all posts View Profile Close regatta333]

I mailed my letter today.

I sent another objection mentioning those things and the disappearance of the 30000 or deposits during the website enhancement.

The Plaintiffs' attorney replied that RCI has admitted that in court, blaming it on a computer glitch and saying they are trying to straighten it out. I believe they've been working on it about 6 months now.

Nov 20 deadline is upon us

Just a reminder - deadline for postmark is November 20. These need to be mailed to Clerk of Court in NJ, with cc's to 2 attorneys in NJ. Lots of info at TUG.

JLB, who are you emailing and getting specific replies from?

[tonyg Goomba & Super Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close tonyg]

I sent a form to Susan Collins Tuesday.

[GrayFal Silver Contributor and supermoderator Find all posts View Profile Close GrayFal]

Can the letters be postmarked ON November 20?
I tried to do the electronic form and that is only if u r accepting RCIs crappy offers.

[Laurie Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Laurie]

Yes, your objection can be postmarked ON the 20th, but no later.

And you are still entitled to choose one of their crappy offers. That doesn't negate your ability to file a valid objection to the terms of the settlement.

Here's a nagging question:

Those who purport to be in the know say that plaintiffs' attorney(s) interest is in striking a settlement, so they will get $$$ not with pursuing this matter further, yet we are sending our objections to them are we not?

How do we know our objections will not be withheld from the Court, or diffused, watered down . . . ?
