事實是, HOA 管理公司換了. 支票寄到前公司地址, 我也告之新公司. 以為新HOA會collect payments. 沒想到竟把我們告了. 查了銀行Statement, 支票沒有兌現. 我也曾想花錢了災,但怕壞了我們的信譽,800分以上. 請幫分析,我們有沒有base 贏.多謝!!
我的BASE 如下:
1)Have paid HOA Fee through Online Banking since August 2005; set up monthly recurring payment (EXHIBT 1, bank payment history report 08/05-present)
2)In January 2008, received late payment notice from HOA for 136.00 unpaid balance, (EXHIBIT 2, copy of the letter). Made 136.00 payment through Online Banking on 01/31/08. (EXHIBIT 3, bank payment report)
3)Received certified mail from HOA for 224.00 HOA fee. On March 13, contacted HOA A/R Dept Ms. Smith, explained to her that all payments were made through Online Banking. Per Ms. Smith's request, faxed payment history report to A/R Dept. Follow up Ms. Smith next day, was told that all payments were mailed to previous management company. The A/R will contact previous company to collect the payments. Updated new company name and P.O.Box in Online Banking for ongoing monthly payment. (EXHIBIT 3, bank payment report)
4)Received a letter from HOA A/R Specialist dated 04/01/08, (EXHIBIT 4)."Thank you for the list of payment that you have made to the previous management company. However, we only show record of September, October and November’s payments made to the previous management company. I’m requesting copies of all checks beginning December 2007 to date. I have removed all penalties on your account. I will continue to hold your accounts in order to resolve this issue. Please contact me directly in the future if you have any further questions or concerns regarding to your account.”
我當時理解為,A/R is contacting previous management company to collect checks. Or contact me if they’re unable to collect payments. 我的錯誤是沒有再follow up.
