TINA.org Supports FTC’s ‘Click to Cancel’ Rule against Industry Challenge
Companies should not be able to trap consumers into subscriptions that they do not want.
In January 2017, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Diamond Resorts Holdings (a company that sells points-based timeshare memberships) for, among other things, allegedly deceptively luring elderly consumers to purchase memberships by advertising that premium, high-value resorts will be available to members without disclosing that rooms at such properties are generally unavailable as they are booked to full capacity a year in advance. (Harding et al v. Diamond Resorts Holdings, LLC et al, Case No. 17-cv-248, D. NV.)
