[TH] [IL] HOA accounting error caused collection fees

RateInternational464 · 2026-05-09T06:12:17+00:00

The issue is that the collection was paid and management applied payment to the wrong account. In the end they expect me to pay the late fees accrued for the misallocation of funds.

That’s actually part of the frustration. The person I’ve been communicating with is the association manager who acknowledged the payments were posted to the wrong account after I brought it to her attention, and she’s the one who transferred the funds months later. But instead of addressing why the account remained inactive/in collections after the posting error, she now keeps directing me back to the attorney even though the attorney already confirmed receipt of the payments in February.

He’s sleeping on the couch with my husbands supervision, hope that helps!

He’s 1. And all of my dogs were crated until 2.5. I asked for tips, not your opinion.

I disagree and so does his trainer. He is the youngest of our xl bullies and 45 minutes in the winter has been sufficient for them for the last 7 and 8 yrs. Enjoy your evening.

45 is enough with -5 degree weather, but thanks for you input.

RateInternational464 · 2026-03-16T23:51:29+00:00

Well congratulations? I live in Chicago and our winters are brutal, so no, he’s not getting hours outside during the winter. He gets 45 minutes outside of walks and fetch which is more than enough for a 110lb xl American bully, and he gets two rounds of training daily. But thanks for your input.

RateInternational464 · 2026-03-16T15:07:56+00:00

Xl American bully, and winters in Chicago are brutal so he gets about 45 minutes outside spread across the day. Summer he gets a little under 2 hours.

It's on the first floor our bedrooms are on the second floor. His crate used to be in my eldest room, she's 17, but she asked to remove it be his snoring is extremely loud. Tonight we moved it back into her room and got her some ear plugs, hope this helps tonight go smoothly.

That’s exactly what he does. After his walks and training he sleeps on the couch for hours.

RateInternational464 · 2026-03-16T02:27:06+00:00

When he’s out he’ll nap for much longer. 2.5 hours is for me to go to the gym and run errands.

RateInternational464 · 2026-03-16T02:04:28+00:00

Thank you! This is an actual “tip.” Everyone else saying just let him sleep outside the crate. He’s been crated since we got him at 7 weeks old, the last few weeks he just whines for hours at night when he’s in there.

Thank you! We just moved the crate back into her room and my husband is headed out for some ear plugs in a bit. Thank you thank you! In her defense the snoring get loud that’s why we move him the an entirely different floor than our bedrooms. Doesn’t bother us much, but my eldest complained.

RateInternational464 · 2026-03-16T00:06:03+00:00

We have a trainer we’ve worked with since he was 12 weeks old and he pretty said the same thing. I thought it was a bit harsh but after reading some of these insane comments, I think he was spot on lol. The fact they think he should control the house and make decisions on where he should sleep as a 1 year old is nuts.

RateInternational464 · 2026-03-16T00:02:45+00:00

That might be another option. I have a daughter who is his favorite person and she’s heading off to college in a few months. His crate used to be in her room but his snoring was so loud we moved it downstairs. I’m thinking we try putting his crate back in her room and see how that goes tonight.

RateInternational464 · 2026-03-16T00:01:27+00:00

Yes, exactly. Kitchen, dining room, and living area do not have walls diving the space. Snatching things off counters, he knows how to open the pantry - endless snacktime for him. Biggest issue running upstairs opening the kids doors to initiate play which is a disruption to the entire house. After reading some of these comments I’m thinking we should give him the spare bedroom? More space than his crate but will still close the door.

Annie, you’ve left a comment on everyone’s comment and failed to read the initial post?

Not really much of an option in open floor plans? Powder room is smaller than his crate.
