RCI Class Action Lawsuit Settlement
As of July 11, 2010, current RCI members which submitted a properly completed claim form in accordance with Section II.E of the Settlement Agreement in the proper amount of time, with a claim form verified by RCI, may begin using the benefit they selected on the claim form. Former RCI members completing the aforementioned completion qualifications, will receive their selected benefit in October 2010. The selected benefit must be used within 2 years of the effective date, and no extensions will be granted.
For anyone following the class action lawsuit Murillo vs. RCI, final approval of the settlement was granted by the courts on December 7, 2009. RCI has denied the accusations made, which alleged RCI rented out inventory deposited by weeks members, instead of making them available for exchange.

My wife and I are RCI members in good standing, and own a bi-annual timeshare.
When we purchased this timeshare in 2001, we lived in B.C., Canada. Between March 2002 and February 2008 we lived in Arizona, USA. We believe we were never advised of this class action, so we never submitted a claim form.
Why? When did this occur? Is there anything we could or should do about it now?

I agree with Jacob’s post. I have been a member (regrettably) since 2006 and have been unable to find an exchange EVERY year. Five years; mortgage paid in full; zero vacations!!!
I’ve tried to sell my weeks when I was unable to use them but no one bought them either.
If I knew about this suit I would have joined instantly.

I agree my grandmother has been a member since 1990 and she never recieved anything about this lawsuit. She has never moved so address and phone number are the same. I also would like to know if there is anything she can do now.
You really did not miss anyting. I returned the “popper” paperwork! When contacted RCI for use of the “perks”of the settlement…could not speak with ANYONE that knew about the “awards”! So, donnot fret, it is not worht the hassle. Advice: Whe contacting RCI…DO NOT GIVE UP until you get what you want. Might take days, many persons, but sooner or oaler you will get the request answered. Recently, RCI agent reserved the wrong date. Contacted three “Supervisor”s” and my week was returned, placed with my combined units until 2013 and ALL monies returned, with out penalty. Don’t GIVE UP! OH! We have great luck in renting our unit to peopele we know and dod not have to pay resorts fee. Notify the resort that you will be in later in the week and give tham permission to accept —-as guestas and have your ok to accept keys. You DO NOT have to “show”. Always get return for money spent and still have the unit for the nest time we wish to use.
Good Luck!
