Complaint Review: Desert Ridge Community Association

Simple.

I missed a bi yearly payment to the hoa.

4 months later they send a late fee, and a new bill for the 2nd half of the year.  Scheduled online bill payment for due date on bill.  Included 1st bi yearly payment, 2nd bi yearly payment and late fee/rebill fee.

1 month after that I get a colletions bill from attorney, saying I owed several hundred dollars.  I ignored it - I already got a bill and paid it.

Long story short, it ends up in court.  I'm told by the mediator that I am going to loose.  An HOA doesn't have to send you a "bill".

Even though they sent a "bill", with a due date, that I paid?  Look real closely at the bill.  It says "This may not be all inclusive".

What a joke!

Fast forward 2 months after settling, and being all paid up through 12/31.  Now I can't pay online, saying its still in collections.  its now "fixed", and they send me a past due balance from before 12/31!! Its a simple accounting mistake on their end.

Watch closely.
