Q: My COA/HOA roof assessment of $5,163 was paid-in-full. They have violated the contract
Diversified Management and the COA (Colorado Speings), in abuse of power and selective enforcement held my final payment of $2,563 in cashiers check for nearly a year, returned it for "reissue", then immediately turned my paid in full account over to Orten Cavanagh collection. This firm then threatened me to pay nearly $5,000 on my paid-in-full account, or they would foreclose on my home I've owned for 20 years.
This is extortion!!
A: You'll need to provide proof of the payment to the court, you can ask for attorney fees when you win. I recommend that you contact an attorney that represents homeowners against HOAs to discuss your rights, remedies, and risks in this matter.
