Assesment Dues Collection Policy
One of the many advantages of living in a community association is sharing with other members the costs of certain maintenance, repairs, and amenities that are often too expensive for a single-family homeowner. All McCreary Estates members are legally bound to share in those costs.
WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER
To properly maintain McCreary Estates common areas, it's imperative that each member contributes in paying their assessments in full in a timely manner. Delinquencies throw the association's entire budget off course and negatively affect all members, property values and lifestyles.
KEEPING UP OUR END OF THE BARGAIN
To sufficiently maintain the community, our governing documents, combined with federal law, give the Board of Directors for McCreary Estates the authority to impose and collect assessments and other allowable charges from the community members. It is the Board's duty to make certain every member contributes and pays. The Board of Directors has adopted the following policy to fulfill its duty in a fair, systematic, and impartial manner.
1. Association Assessments
Association assessments refer to any amount a member must pay to McCreary Estates. Among the charges it includes are regular assessments, special assessments, violation fines, late fees, legal fees, and any other fees, interest, or charges imposed under this policy and allowable by the governing documents.
2. Where to Send Payment
All payments are to be delivered to the Associationˇ¦s management office:
McCreary Estates Homeowners Association
C/O Singer Association Management, Inc.
P.O. Box 630292
Irving, TX 75063
3. When Association Assessments Are Due
Association assessments are due in semiannual installments on January 1st and July 1st. Unless otherwise stated, other assessments are due within 30 days of notice of membersˇ¦ obligation to pay. If a member does not pay in full any association assessment by its due date, that payment is delinquent. Nonreceipt of an association assessment bill should in no way relieve the member of the obligation to pay the amount due by the due date.
4. Late Payments
Once the association assessment is delinquent, McCreary Estates may take any or all of the following actions:
a. Collection fees, late charges, and interest If McCreary Estates does not receive payment for any association assessment in full on or before the 30th day after it becomes due, the delinquent member shall pay McCreary Estates
for its time, inconvenience, and overhead in collecting the late payment, as follows:
i. a $15.00 collection fee;
ii. a $25.00 late charge; and
iii. accrued interest at the highest rate permitted by law from the due dated until the date of payment.
These charges will be treated as assessments in accord with the governing documents.
b. Returned check fees and bank charges In addition to any collection fees that may be applicable, for each check that is returned by a bank for any reason, the member who wrote the check shall pay any related bank charges and any fees for liquidated damages that McCreary Estates incurs because of the returned check. These charges will be treated as assessments.
c. Suspension of rights A member is not entitled to vote at any annual or special meeting of members if delinquent in the assessment interest or collection fees levied against them.
d. Initial collection letter Upon the 60th day of delinquency, an initial collection will be sent via certified mail and first class mail, along with the second collection notice, to the delinquent member outlining the balance owed to McCreary Estates and the intention of turning the account over to the attorney if not paid within 30 days.
e. Account referred to an attorney McCreary Estates may, in its sole discretion, refer a delinquent account to an attorney for further action after the 90th day of delinquency. The attorney may do any or all of the following:
i. Send demand letter to the delinquent member outlining the balance owed with the intention of proceeding to the next collection action if payment is not received within 30 days
ii. File a lien against the property in accordance with state and federal law and McCreary Estates governing documents;
iii. File a lawsuit to collect the amount owed;
iv. Foreclose on the property;
v. Take any and all other appropriate legal action.
f. Attorney's fees and costs of collection The delinquent member shall be responsible for all of McCreary Estates attorney's fees and costs of collection, including court costs. These charges will be treated as assessments.
5. Crediting Late/Partial Payments
All delinquent accounts remain delinquent until the account is paid in full. No partial payments will waive McCreary Estatesˇ¦s right to pursue full payment and/or to enforce the provisions of this policy. McCreary Estates will apply partial payments to the outstanding balance in the following order:
Attorney's fees and costs incurred in the collection;
Interest accrued if any;
Collection fees and late charges;
Special assessments; and
Regular assessments, with payment
being applied to the oldest balance first.
6. Notices, Payments, and Consequences of Nonpayment
Unless otherwise required by law, all notices will be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the delinquent memberˇ¦s address as shown in McCreary Estates books and records on the date the notice goes out. All amounts due must be paid in full before the notice period expires. If the notice period expires without full payment, the consequences set forth in the notice and/or in this policy shall apply.
7. Payment Plans
If a member is unable to pay the amount in full by the due date, a written payment plan can be agreed upon between the association and member. If the member does not abide by the agreed payment plan, the payment plan becomes null and void and the entire delinquent balance is due in full. The association will also proceed with collection action.
