Important News on Club Fees Judgment

Via Brenda Taylor, former Solivita HOA president:

Court awarded requested  Attorney fees to class attorneys.  Waiting to see if TM will appeal. 

Court denied our request for 18% prejudgment interest, which means the statutory rate of prejudgment  interest is applicable for the period beginning April 2013 through 11/1/2021, the date of Judge Darden’s judgment in favor of the class.  We are still waiting for a date from court for a distribution hearing.

Class members (YOU!) who DID NOT OPT OUT should begin gathering info for their class claim, including the date  you purchased a particular Solivita home, date sold (if applicable); any proof of exact amount of club dues payments if you have it.

If homeowners are deceased, death certificate, letters of administration for estate, or other document showing who the refund should be paid to.   If you have owned more than one home, pull together this info for each home.  Hold onto this information as class members should be getting a letter requesting information/documentation.   This information will be compared to the info provided by a Taylor Morrison to make sure class members receive the correct amount.

(Editor’s note: Why the firm did not begin gathering this information as soon as the judgment was awarded is another example of our “justice system” that Democrats are wanting improved.  I think A.B. Data is happy to have our $35 million in their bank account as long as possible. The communications on this judgment has been horrible!! If you have owned in Solivita the entire period of elligibility you should receive back more than $10,000, plus interest. The amount will be prorated on the number of months you owned. )

When you gather your information, send it to:

AVATAR CLASS ACTION
C/O A.B. DATA, LTD.
P.O. BOX 170500
MILWAUKEE, WI  53217

I sent them a letter about our sale and our new address in May and have not had ANY confirmation or correspondence from them at all. — Ellis Moose

“I Am Kamala Harris” Hardcover Book

 

Maryann Cusimano Love is the daughter of SDC Members Jim and Martha Cusimano.
The book is available on Amazon from $18.39 inc. tax + shipping

Kamala Harris’ childhood to the White House from a child’s eye view, co-authored by a teen.

Whether she was standing up to a bully on the playground, or protecting a friend from child abuse, Kamala Harris began standing up for justice at a young age.

“I am Kamala Harris. As soon as I could stand, I began standing up for justice. When I was a toddler, my parents took me to Civil Rights marches, in California, where I was born. People sang joyful songs of freedom. They painted colorful signs, saying “Love your Neighbor,” “Freedom,” and “Equal Justice Under the Law.” People of every color and background were kind to each other, working together make the American Dream come true for everybody. It was like a rainbow parade for fairness. I loved it.

Once, I slipped out of my stroller at a march. My mother hugged me to comfort my fussing. “What do you want, baby?” She asked. “Fweedom!” I answered, just like the other civil rights marchers. The family laughed. But I meant it.”
