Hi All,
I met with the Real Estate Attorney Prager and Miller and they are reviewing the information. I spoke with another person earlier in the week and she is also asking the attorney's she works for to take a look.
I was told that if they have any assets they may be able to go after those assets. So now we need to move on to who owns the land and does NOT have a mortgage on it. If you own your land outright I need to find a leader for that group. If you want to keep your lot then I will put you in that group as well, if we go with the attorney then there will be fees that will need to be split. The attorney did say he would need to put it in writing who he is representing. So give me feedback, and gently please. In moving forward you can hold, dump, or wait and see but if you would like representation you must decide. Or you can go it on your own.
Has everyone been able to open the attachments on the tax paperwork?
Does anyone have the Post cards or the original marketing paperwork that the Devl. co. sent to entice you to come out and buy? I need a coy of it, can you send to me in an email? homeforgood@suddenlink.net
or you can fax it to the lawyer, if you would like.
The letters must be working because I have only gotten back around 7.
Calls are still coming in and the data base is growing.
Thank you everyone for your help,

I just called Developer Finance Corp and they are no longer just reducing the rate over the phone due to increased interest. They will review your account and reduce it to a minimum of 8.9% if you meet their new guidelines.

Attorney General Conway Reaches Settlement with Green Farm Resort and Lafayette Golf Course

Press Release Date: Tuesday, December 30, 2008
Contact Information: Allison Gardner Martin
Communications Director
502-696-5651 (office)


Attorney General Jack Conway today announced that an agreement has been reached regarding the Green Farm Resort and Lafayette Golf Course near Leitchfield in Grayson County. The agreement was reached with 3D Resorts-Bluegrass LLC, which has purchased the property from the defendants in a consumer protection lawsuit filed by the Attorney General’s Office in February, 2005. The agreement requires 3D Resorts to escrow more than $1.2 million to ensure completion of infrastructure construction by the end of 2009, including roads and utilities in the second phase of the development, as well as a recreation facility and swimming pool.

The Attorney General filed suit in February 2005 in Grayson Circuit Court against GF Resort LP, Texas developer Samuel D. Ware, and others, alleging violations of the Kentucky Consumer Protection Act in the marketing and sale of recreational and retirement property at the Green Farm Resort. Undeveloped lots were marketed as an exclusive resort with lifetime memberships to the highly-rated Lafayette Golf Course. However, at the time the suit was filed, the developer had failed to complete any roads or utilities, leaving more than 400 purchasers unable to commence construction and many purchasers unable to even access their individual lots. The Attorney General alleged that an escrow account, which was represented to guarantee infrastructure completion, had been improperly depleted by the developers. Through court orders obtained in that lawsuit in 2006, more than $1.2 million was paid by GF Resort and Ware to install infrastructure in the first phase of the development, which was largely completed in 2007, leaving only Phase II to be completed.

As part of the agreement and escrow arrangement announced today, 3D Resorts agreed to complete Phase II infrastructure and a recreation facility, including a pool for resort members. 3D Resorts also agrees to assume certain obligations of the former owner, GF Resort LP. In turn, the Attorney General agreed to dismiss the current suit against the prior developer, GF Resort LP and the other defendants. This dismissal does not affect property owners’ private legal rights to seek individual relief from the defendants under the Kentucky Consumer Protection Act.

“This agreement represents a new chapter for Green Farm Resort.” Conway said. “This is a beautiful area of our Commonwealth, and my office hopes that 3D Resorts will work to fully deliver what it promised to consumers. We will continue to oversee completion of the project to assure compliance with the agreement,” General Conway said.

Hi Everyone
I have good news, I spoke with the Tax person today and he wants me to let you know that if you have filed a protest already this year he will only be able to help you with the 2010 taxes. If you have not filed a protest he can helpfor the 2009 year. I am going to forward the paperwork to each person who has emailed me. He is going to send me something to put up on this site to ensure everyone understands what he is doing, but for now what I understand he will do for us is Do a Late Protest, have it filed by jan. 1. To Do this he need authorization forms filled out and he will also have you sign a contingency form saying he will be collecting 25% of the taxes he saves you. I have already told him I am on board, he looked at my lot and my situation and said I have a good case. That is with out digging. I am hoping he finds more than dirt to help my case. But we shall see, if doesn't take a case if he can't help, so I have nothing to loose at this point. If anything changes I will let you know as I know. If you have any questions let me know I will try to answer or find the answer.

I followed Kim's comment about calling Developer Finance Corporation to lower the interest rate, and to my surprise, without any problem, they were willing to lower the rate to 8.9%... we were paying in the 11% range. Try it out, for us is a $140/month savings for 2 lots.

Everyone needs to follow up on their complaints to be sure they are processed!
We need to file the complaints with the same filed against name so it attracts more attention.
I initially filed mine against 3d but being there is already 4 against Lone Oak I am going to name them first?
They want me to send my complaint via US mail. That way it wont get lost.....funny it use to be you didn't send via mail, thats how checks and stuff use to get lost.

Copy and paste this into your broser.

or you can google Texas Attorney General and it will come up.
Put your cursor over the Consumer Protection tab and a drop down box will come up, click on File A Complaint
Then it will bring up another page and in the center of that page in darker blue you will see on line complaint form. That is where you fill it out. Thanks for helping do so.......

HI Everyone,
Ok in the letter to the Attorney General state the facts
fact one cmd (colorado mountain development came to town by invitation of Jerry Dunn and who ever),
next tell them that two years later we still have NO Rds NO anything. Then in 07-08 time frame they filed for Bankruptcy, but before doing so jasen miller came to town and said he was given the property to develop with out putting any money on the table, then tell them that he never did anything as well. Then say that for some reason the phone calls don't get answered and Jasen said he is broke. Why is there more construction going on across the lake? That is Jasen's company working on the other side. Where is our over 28,000,000 dollars?
