On June 18, 2003, we purchased a time-share at the Grand Regency at Thousand Hills Condominium described in the Declaration of Condominium for Grand Regency at Thousand Hills Condominiums, recorded in book 0389, page 0035, Week Numbers 42, Unit Number G232A and G232B.

We placed a down payment to Spinnaker Resorts and made several payments to EFI Funding Company, PO Box 5119, Buffalo, NY 14240-5119, (888) 373-77678 (Billing) and (800) 377-5953 (Collections). The time-share was scheduled to be ready for occupancy on 1 January 2003.

I wrote several letters to Spinnaker Resorts (to several different addresses), the Grand Regency Office (Branson Missouri), and Doreen Fane (sp) in Orlando Florida. We were given Doreen's name by Sherry LNU Last Name Unknown) Owner Relations Department Manager, The Grand Regency at Thousand Hills Condominiums, from as early as February 2003 to inquire on the status of our time-share purchase.
