At closing we were not told about the retention pond and the private road. There was a abutting road disclosure. Nothing else. There was a line about you must join the HOA and follow the CCR.

USC is not a State law. "USC" stands for United States Code, which is Federal law. I cannot tell which US Code section you are referring to because you did not include the first section (--UCS----). However, there is no law, State or Federal, that requires a down payment to puchase a... Read more »

Unethical? No. There is no right to settle an account, although it is better practice to at least have told you that the creditor rejected your offer. It doesn't sound like you made much of an attempt to keep in touch, either. Collection lawyers work many accounts.

It the other party to the contract (the "sender", as I understand you) says that they don't have it, get that in writing. If they later find it, with your signature, get a copy of that. I'm not sure how Docusign can decide the contract is "voided", if they are not a party to the contract.
