Delinquency Policy
The Association’s Managing Agent shall keep complete records of all monies
assessed to all co-owners. The Agent shall issue late notices for all payments
not received within the established grace period which follows the established
due date. The Agent shall promptly post late charges to the delinquent
co-owner’s account in accordance with the Association’s documents or the amount
established by the Board of Directors.
If any account becomes delinquent in the amount of two normal monthly
assessments, or if any additional or special assessment becomes sixty days past
due, the Agent shall fax an account ledger to the Association’s legal counsel.
Legal counsel shall issue a notice of intent to record a lien demanding full
payment of the account within seven days.
If three normal monthly assessments become delinquent, or if any additional or
special assessment becomes delinquent by more than ninety days, the
Association’s legal counsel shall proceed to record a lien and send a second
demand letter. The agent shall provide legal counsel with an updated account
ledger.
If any account reaches the point where six normal monthly assessments are
delinquent, legal counsel shall proceed to issue a final notice prior to
foreclosure and order a title search. The final notice shall advise the co-owner
that foreclosure will commence unless payment is made within seven days after
the date of the final notice. The Agent may not accept partial payment after the
final notice has been issued and shall forward tendered payments to legal
counsel for return to the delinquent co-owner.
Legal counsel shall separately line itemize on all statements rendered to the
Association all services involving co-owner delinquencies including all expenses
incurred in connection with such delinquencies. The agent shall promptly post
the legal fees and costs to the delinquent co-owner’s account each month.
All requests for payoff statements as to delinquent accounts, which have
proceeded beyond sixty days, shall be referred to the Association’s legal
counsel who will coordinate with the Agent in the preparation of an account
payoff statement letter.
In the event any additional or special assessment remains unpaid for a period of
six months or more, legal counsel shall consult with the Agent and/or the Board
of Directors with respect to the advisability of proceeding to file suit for
foreclosure.
Individual Board members shall not entertain requests for payment arrangements
from delinquent co-owners and all requests for payment plans or special
consideration shall be made in writing by the delinquent co-owner and submitted
for review by the Board of Directors at a regularly scheduled meeting. No
director shall
personally contact any delinquent co-owner in any manner at any time to request
payment of any amount owed to the Association.
