Diamond Resorts International Club
In May 2017, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Diamond Resorts International Club (a company that sells timeshare contracts where members acquire points to exchange for accommodations at resorts) for allegedly falsely representing that members dissatisfied with their memberships (because of poor customer service or the unavailability of certain resorts and dates) should upgrade to a platinum membership to resolve such issues when, according to plaintiffs, members who upgraded continued to have the same problems with customer service and making reservations. (Fournier et al v. Diamond Resorts International Club, Inc., Case No. 17-cv-911, C. D. CA.)
