If Lakeview consumers have been reading the antics of the Harry Taylor led Committee, you will note that serious allegations are being levelled by Harry Taylor in his response to Lakeview Country Clubs Ltd’s offer.
“Firstly, as the Committee, we would like to advise you that LVCCL (the landlord) has contacted you using a database of owners which it has acquired by doubtful means and it is not authorised to use it and we believe LVCCL is in violation of the data protection laws”
The “Doubtful means” levelled by Harry Taylor were against Lakeview County Club Ltd. Lakeview County Club Ltd scourged themselves with laughter as the place whereby they obtained the information was from Harry Taylors Committee. This knee-jerk suggestion now comes back to bite Mr Taylor and no doubt, the Landlord will be adding this to his many Legal complaints.
Mr Taylor levels the following allegation;
“It is not authorised to use it, we believe LVCCL is in violation of the Data Protection Laws”
As the data appears to have originated from Harry Taylor himself, this could be classed as an addition as it is suggested by LVCCL that the data it received was from Harry Taylor and if Mr Taylor is right, he has violated the Laws of England. Please read below;
Dear Timeshare owner,
We as Lakeview Country Club Limited (LVCCL) your landlord would like to respond to the letter being circulated by your committee (well Harry Taylor) in response to our recent letter offering to buy your timeshare.
1. Your Committee advises incorrectly. We obtained the list of timeshare owners as part of our legal bundle when we purchased the site. Further investigation also showed that the Committee actually provided us with the list in 2012. We therefore assume that your Committee consider themselves as “the doubtful source”.
2.It is interesting that there was no mention of the opportunity to surrender your timeshare at no cost in the AGM agenda as we would expect such a ground breaking announcement to be published giving the maximum number of owners the opportunity to take advantage of it.
3. As for TATOC this is not a regulated body but merely a limited company limited by guarantee that according to its registered accounts is insolvent (accounts attached) run and controlled by Harry Taylor so most definitely not independent.
4.Your independent Trustee FNTC shares its offices of 45 Monmouth Street, London with Aroma and all monies paid to Aroma were paid directly into FNTC’s bank account without any VAT and Aroma declared zero returns at Companies House, so we think to state that FNTC is independent would be a misleading statement.
5. As regards to the serious implied allegation in the last paragraph it should be noted that the Timeshare Committee’s recommended exit required payment of up to £10,000 as confirmed at the AGM.
6. Lakeview will pay you cash for your week.
7. Of course it is up to you to decide which is the best offer for you however on the basis your Committee endorsed the Aroma offer we think that they are NOT a suitable party to give advice nor is TATOC nor is your “independent” Trustee FNTC.
8.We would like to point out at this juncture that all monies payable to anyone agreeing to sell their timeshare will be deposited in advance with the Timeshare Committee’s solicitor in an escrow account.
Lakeview will look after your interests and do whatever we can to protect your position if of course you will allow us to.
Yours faithfully,
Lakeview Country Club Limited
