"Service" or lack thereof is a good question, but you raise an even more interesting question to me----what's to keep Alegria from tripling the AMF???

Hello again all,
Just a few points for further clarification. TOCA has 2 petitions percolating before the SXM court system. The injunction petition, heard and "won" by TOCA last week addresses the issues of the ongoing denial of access to our units & requests damages caused by this continuing denial (alternate accommodation/lodging costs, legal fees, etc.). Last weeks "win", if not appealed by Alegria, must grant us immediate access to our units UNTIL our merits petition (the main case) is heard before the court in early 2016. The TOCA membership fully understands the consequences/ramifications of returning to a resort where we are not welcome and social media sites have already informed audiences that current "winners" (Marty & the Dream Bar) continue to be harassed. As well, it is reported that owners in the A building (not timeshare owners) have received notice by Alegria that their fees will be substantially increased. All of these serious concerns have been expressed by our membership as we move towards the main case procedure & are clearly addressed/dealt with in the upcoming main case. In the meantime, we wait to hear if Alegria will appeal the decision and the Board will formulate a plan of action, in collaboration with our attorneys, to grant our owners access to their units as per the injunction ruling. Even in the event of an appeal by Alegria, the injunction ruling must stand (or Alegria faces hefty fines for its violation) until their appeal is heard before the court.
Regards, Carol Anne Lee-Desmarais (president of TOCA)

SXMScubaman said: 2016 MF's will be due before then along with back MF's up to that point to keep current as in the contracts. All I see is more bad money and emotions going towards a bad end result. However, that's making the assumption that Alegria accepts the fact that they are servicing timeshares, and are ready and able to handle the accounting, billing, etc. Did they bill for 2015, or keep track of who paid or didn't? Would they have records that you were in arrears, if their position is that they aren't timeshares any longer?

One of the things I learned a long time ago is never, ever assume anything. The facts speak for themselves.
If Alegria had good business sense, it would have settled with the TOCA members outside of court before it got to this point. And, newspapers, not only on the island but in the States, and social media throughout the world would not be reporting negatively against Alegria. Unfortunately, Alegria is now faced with the probability that, if TOCA wins the final case, they will be in court for many, many years to come.
It takes two opposing parties to negotiate, and it's not too late to do that. But, it takes both sides willing to talk ... if settled out of court, no precedent has been set.

Good afternoon, TOCA is the association that was formed one year ago by owners at the Caravanserai resort who have had their long lease agreements illegally nullified by the new owner Alegria. We have been advised that we may continue to accept new members who have NOT signed Alegria's letter. For those who have signed the letter, we are referring you to our legal firm (Lexwell in SXM). Any enquiries to our email address will be responded to within 24 hours and you many contact us at: tocagroup@gmail.comWe look forward to hearing from you! Best regards, Carol Anne Lee-Desmarais (president of TOCA-Timeshare Owners at Caravanserai Association

Well, crap, any link to a story in the DH no longer works. New domain name as of yesterday, I guess.

The old stories are still there, I think, but you have to go in and manually search for them. It would have been a lot more work for the DH to do, but they could have automatically linked it to the new address, I think.
