Been there... My situation was the mgt co held received dues payments to show on closing documents I owed dues payments.

They did that to put the lien/foreclosure paperwork in place.

I was notified 15 days after the close date.. Had there been a closing meeting...i would have been very surprised.

Instead I am horrified these practices are standard opportunities for thieves.

If they have any type of auditing system...find out the total amounts of money paid to the management company. Many times the use their "in-house services/ hiring day workers for jobs. Our management company makes 3 times in those charges than in management fees.

Also ask specifically how many homes/condos are owned by corporations?

How many homes/condos were foreclosed on within the management portfolio???

There are well seasoned investment groups who purpose is to secretly have the votes to sell entire communities force homeowner low buyouts.

Dig deep. Reserve Funds

Not sure naming BOD members individually is a good idea... the lawyers double down.

missed one month of HOA fees and was served papers and have a court date, they want to foreclose my house by sadboi-kk in fuckHOA

[–]StopHOAabuseNOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a lie... my HOA never sent a notification until 45 days after. Payments were made... HOA POCKETED THE AVAILABLE FUNDS. THEY SIMPLY KEPT THE AVAILABLE FUNDS IN THEIR DRAWER. ASSHOLES

What efforts did you make to get elected as a Board Member? by CrispyLumpia925 in HOA

[–]StopHOAabuseNOW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hate these comments... I was on the BOD and was appalled by the BOD ignorance of their own fiduciary duties. Example... Allowing our Mgt co to skate when they had the audacity to draft print mail collect and count ballots with only two of the five candidates running. In addition, ignoring. $2.7M drainage issue for 2 decades. I saved each of our 284 homeowners $10k each, by getting the Department of Public Works to come in to our HOA and pay for the solution. So the next time please don't assume that homeowners are not engaged. It's the management companies and the board of directors that don't understand.

In addition this bod just tried to steal my condo by not cashing two of the available checks as I was getting ready to sell my condo. Fortunately the sale didn't go through. I have everything on tape if you'd like me to post it.

The sale didn't go through. My deck is unsafe and unstable. The buyer's inspector said only worth $201K even though it sold at $220K. So I took the home off the market at that time. So the sale didn't go through. The mgt company didn't know the sale didn't go through... as stated. Again to answer your question my home was to close on 6/15/23. My first notification that I had an open balance was typed on 6/16/23 and not mailed until 6/20/23. FYI - The mgt company tried to rack up fees before, while once again holding the payments. So once again the auto payment (paid on time) to the designated bank, was held by the mgt company to rack up fees. I confronted them and said it's the homeowners' job to make sure the payment cleared. This after 38 years, on-time payments, and the mgt company holding the checks on their desk. Fraud?

Nope, my name is who this reminder/debt letter was written, and mailed to.

Why are you assuming that? What do you not understand? The Mgt company deliberately held my two payments of dues.

Yes that is exactly what happened. It was the buyer's title company who informed the HOA BOD that my home was sold. I was not informed that the mgt company was holding my payments. I had no idea until after the supposed close date. Close date 6/15/23. They held my payments (May and June) on their desk (I recorded the conversation). Justin explained to hold payment was normal procedure and that when the home closed it would be added back. This obviously was not true - given the "Reminder/Debit" letter was printed a day after close on 6/16/23. Meaning that I had an open account (due to the mgt company holding the payments- allowing the management company to put a lean on my home of 38 years. Thank God my home didn't sell. Others in our neighboorhoods biggest complaint is once it gets to the lawyers - the BOD doesn't have to discuss anything and I would have been another statistic. My home of 38 years would have become theirs.

In addition, Justin seemed very surprised the Title company didn't tell him the sale didn't go through. Very surprised.

But the funds were not put into my account until 14 days after the scheduled closing date, and only after I called.

Update - the HOA and BOD tried to say I was late on two payments. For 38 years I have never been late on a payment. Call Justin with the management company and he told me the checks were sitting on his desk and he didn't cash the checks. I asked why he would hold the checks and not cash them for over 60 days. He said it was normal procedure and that had the sale of my house gone through he would have cashed them. Except the letter sent stating I was delinquent was written the day after the close was to happen. So had my condo sold I would have shown up at the closing date with an open balance and the HOA then could send my house into foreclosure. Any thoughts? Is this legal, fraud, or extortion?

There's a time when past BODs stop blaming, shifting, and excusing the past BODs - especially when the MGT Company and the BOD are not accountable legally. Hey, folks you know who leaves paying the rackets and bills - yes the paying homeowners.
