Collections Tools for Self-Managed HOAs & Condos

by Bob Gourley @Axela Technologies

 

When a condominium association or HOA makes the decision to self-manage, the Board of the association often must make difficult decisions about what to do themselves and what functions to outsource to third-party entities. What you need are the tools for collections for your self-managed condo or HOA.

Collecting common fees and assessments is the only way a self-managed association can fund itself and provide the goods and services to homeowners called for the association’s governance documents. Defaulting on these provisions is not an option. Ideally, all unit owners within the association remain solvent and pay their common fees and assessments on time. But what happens when they don’t? What tools are available to a self-managed condominium or HOA?

 

The High Cost of the Traditional Collection Method

Traditionally, collection of past-due common fees and assessments required hiring an attorney to represent the association in bringing forth a lien, and, if needed, a foreclosure action. While this approach can bring the association the title to a delinquent unit owner’s home, it isn’t always a profitable or even practical solution for the condominium or HOA.

Hiring an attorney creates additional risk in the form of legal fees that the association is bound to pay, regardless of the outcome of the legal actions. A well-intentioned association could very well spend more money than it could ever hope to receive in an attempt to collect past due monies they are owed and need to operate their associations.

 

New, Technology-Based Collections Tools for Self-Managed Associations

Axela Technologies decided to address the problem of common fee and assessment delinquency in a different and modern manner. As a full-fledged collection agency, Axela Technologies is able to offer true assistance to condominium associations and HOAs that find their budgets in jeopardy due to deficits created by delayed or delinquent common fees and assessments.

Charging no upfront money to the condominium association or HOA, Axela Technologies takes on the risk that would have been incurred by the expense of an attorney. The cost of using Axela Technologies is minimal and is passed on through the delinquent homeowner once the account is outsourced for collections.

This is an optimal situation for the association, and, to some extent, the delinquent homeowner, who is provided an opportunity to pay his common fees and assessments without having the onerous legal fees of an attorney added to his or her outstanding balance. The association minimizes risk and does not have to pay any fees to Axela Technologies. Additionally, Axela Technologies boasts a very high rate of successful collections, with only 5% remaining delinquent and requiring the use of an attorney to bring a foreclosure action against the delinquent homeowner.

Keep in mind that a foreclosure action still doesn’t guarantee a positive outcome for the self-managed condominium association or HOA. All the foreclosure action will do is gain title to the unit or home. It still needs to generate income, either through sale or rental, before the association may see some financial relief. While the attorney may assist in the foreclosure action, Axela Technologies will keep a vigilant eye on any surplus funds or other possible recovery for the condominium association or HOA. The goal is full recovery with minimal risk for the association.

 

Outsource Collections to Reduce Risk and Maximize Debt Recovery

Unless a self-managed condominium association or HOA is so well-funded that financial risk is of no concern to them, they would be well advised to outsource their collection efforts. Further, unless a self-managed condominium association or HOA wishes to risk spending money on legal fees, they would be well advised to outsource their collections to Axela Technologies. Axela Technologies’ history of successful condominium and HOA delinquency collection with no upfront cost or risk make them the easy choice.

The fact that their collection costs are far less than the legal fees charged by an attorney makes Axela’s collections tools a better choice, not just for the community, but also for the delinquent homeowner, giving them a much more likely chance to pay their delinquent fees and assessments to the association. Outsourcing collections to Axela Technologies is about minimizing risk and producing a successful outcome for all involved.

Is the water draining slowly in your kitchen sink? You probably have a blockage or clog somewhere in your drains. by PRS Ron Giles

Is the water draining slowly in your kitchen sink? You probably have a blockage or clog somewhere in your drains.

by PRS,  contact  Ron Giles  for an appointment

Thankfully, we can quickly find and remove the problem and get your drains clear.

If you have a single-family rental property, we recommend having the drains serviced when a tenant moves out, especially if he or she has been there awhile. Cleaning drains early, before there is a problem, prevents disasters later.

Pipes are made to withstand tree roots and keep them out of your drains, but that doesn’t mean they can’t fade over time. Especially if they’re older. Older pipes often have joints that move to create a tiny gap that a tree root can grow into over time.

WATER SUPPLY-PIPING ISSUES?
We can clean and directly apply a semi-structural epoxy barrier coating to restore existing supply risers, chiller/HVAC lines and in some cases/places even fire-suppression systems. Unlike the past methods/processes that relied on pressurized air to force epoxy in and throughout a buildings piping (which rarely ever provided good results), Our process directly applies barrier coatings to each specific section of pipe and through micro-cameras, we continually monitor each applications thickness, consistency and cure. Hoses from the epoxy pump/milling machine are attached to the drive cable and brush head which allows epoxy to seep out of hallow bristles as it spins. The system is guided through the pipe while epoxy is being heated and applied thus providing a smooth seamless coating that cures within 2 hours. The picture below highlights one of our more recent projects in South Florida where we rehabilitated 100’s of feet of Vertical Water –supply piping in a high-rise Condominium.

  

Our process makes your OLD pipes NEW again! Call PRS today, 800-652-7604

THERE ARE THINGS TO STILL BE THANKFUL FOR  By Eric Glazer, Esq.

THERE ARE THINGS TO STILL BE THANKFUL FOR

By Eric Glazer, Esq.

I wrote this blog last year.  I’m using it again because for many of us, and perhaps almost all of us, we are in the middle of the most difficult year of our lives. Nobody could have predicted the disaster that has been 2020 on a world-wide scale.  So –I’m running the column again, hoping to challenge all of us into thinking about the positives that still remain in our lives and I’m hoping that your words of inspiration help inspire and cheer up all of us.

 

In three days from now we are supposed to sit around the table stuffing turkey down our throats while reflecting on all the things we should be thankful for.  The easy ones are family and good health.  Some might also be thankful for a new job, new car, new spouse or even new body part(s).  How many of you however would be thankful for the community and home you live in?

Week after week, throughout the year, many of you write in complaining that there isn’t much to be thankful for in your community.  While you may be sincere in your belief you’re your community is worse than North Korea and that your association should be named after Alcatraz, I also believe that if given enough time to think about it and come up with an answer, you can come up with at least one thing to be thankful for about the community you live in.

So, in the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday, I am politely asking you to dig down, way down.  Keep going.  A little more…….and find something to be thankful for in your community.  Perhaps you’re only thankful that someone other than yourself is crazy enough to serve on your Board.  Maybe you’re thankful for a wonderful neighbor you have.  Perhaps you’re thankful about the wonderful amenities your association has to offer, like the clubhouse and the swimming pool.  Maybe, just maybe you’re thankful for the good work your Board is doing.

Today, you must come up with something nice to say.  It’s easy to participate when the topic allows you to attack.  Today, I’m asking you to work harder and say a few nice words about your community, your neighbors or dare I say it…….your Board.

To all of our wonderful blog readers and your families, I wish you a happy and healthy Thanksgiving holiday.  Now….Be nice.

Why A Specialized Collections Company Makes Sense for Your Community Association by Axela

Why A Specialized Collections Company Makes Sense for Your Community Association by Axela

  • Comments: Comments Off on Why A Specialized Collections Company Makes Sense for Your Community Association by Axela

Is a Specialized Collections Company Right for Your Association?

Is your Condo or HOA tired of paying lawyers thousands of dollars to recover hundreds of dollars, less, or even nothing. Well, it’s time to think out of the box and let professional collectors recover that money for you.

by Mitch Drimmer /Axela Technologies

In good times or bad times, community associations (Condos and HOAs) will experience some level of delinquencies that affect the entire association. As a not for profit business your association depends on timely payments every pay period to maintain services to members of the association.  Failure to effectively act on a delinquent account does a disservice to the community and to the delinquent member as well.  By allowing a member to sink deeper and deeper in debt, the association only makes it more difficult for them to remedy their problem.  Engaging a Legal Process (sending the file to your community association attorney) the association may just be incurring additional expenses that eventually will be paid for by the good-paying owners.

Often HOA boards of directors are reluctant to migrate their delinquencies to collection agencies from their community association attorney. This article looks at the key benefits and concerns regarding collection agencies for community associations, examines the current state of collections, and helps associations understand why a specialized collection agency for community associations offers tremendous opportunity to collect their money at very no cost and no risk.

 

The Promise of a Specialized Collections Company

Almost every community association looks towards their community association attorney to manage their delinquencies. Yet community association attorneys are not prepared to do the work necessary to effectuate collections (outbound callscredit reportingskip tracing, dedicated inbound call center), and the costs are usually beyond what they recover.  Collection agencies have traditionally been performance-based and will collect their fees and costs only upon a successful collection event.  Collection agencies are concerned with only one aspect of business and that is the successful and cost-effective recovery of maintenance fees and other charges that may appear on the ledger (fines & violations, special assessments).

Operational Excellence and Reporting

The most important feature of an enterprise-level collections solution is its ability to communicate with delinquent owners.  Both inbound calls and outbound calls must be managed by highly trained and accredited specialists. When seeking out a collections company for your HOA ask if there is a dedicated portal for delinquent owners to resolve their issues. Boards of Directors and their management companies need to have access to clear and legible reporting.  Payment applications must be handled according to governing documents and state statutes. Strict compliance with Federal and State consumer rules and regulations is imperative.

Cost Savings

Community Association law firms require payment regardless of the outcome of the file. These costs often are beyond the amounts recovered.  Collection Agencies are merit-based and are only paid upon a successful collection effort.  In the specialized field of collections for community associations boards of directors should not, and in some cases, cannot allow any portion of their maintenance fees to be allocated as boards must be faithful to their association’s budget.  Fees and costs of collections should be charged and passed through to delinquent owners, and in the case of an unsuccessful collection effort these fees should not become the burden of the association (including costs for filing a lien)

 

Concerns Regarding Collection Agencies

It’s easy to see why these key features are the motivators for moving your collections to a specialized collections company and away from a community association attorney.  Yet, many boards of directors are reluctant to change what they have traditionally done in the past, and of course, they will be advised by their own counsel not to remove a collection file from their firms.

FDCPA, TCPA, & FCRA Compliance

Any vendor who performs services for a community association must have the proper insurance to protect the association from liability.  Violations of consumer protection laws should be a great concern.

  • Know and be in compliant with Federal and State Regulations.
  • Report delinquencies to credit bureaus in compliance with the FCRA.
  • Ensure all telephone calls are following TCPA regulations.

A community association must perform their due diligence and be sure that their collection agency is not only bonded but properly insured.  Associations should also be concerned that the customer service representatives of the collection agency are professionally trained and have designations from collection industry trade organizations such as ACA (The Association of Credit and Collection Professionals).

Statutes & Governing Documents (CC&Rs)

Of significant concern to community associations should be a collection agency’s adherence to governing documents and state statutes that relate to condos and HOAs.  Payment application, timelines, statutory compliance to the lien process, and notification are of paramount concern to community associations, especially regarding collections.  Zero defect execution of the collections process must be the standard practice. Collection agencies need to:

  • Perform flawless underwriting of each ledger.
  • Verify property ownership.
  • Impeccably review governing documents and by-laws and understand the state statutes where they are doing collections.

 

Conclusion

With increased scrutiny of the collection industry, it is more important than ever for community associations to engage the right company with the most sophisticated technology that can support their missions.  They should:

  • Compare and document standards, guarantees, and performance levels to ensure that prospective collection agencies are truly best-in-class solution providers.
  • Ask for collection agency references and connect with these references to get a true feel for the providers’ service, product and

It is also imperative that community associations increase efficiency, transparency, and reporting to members of the community.  Collection Agencies that specialize in working with community associations are the best way to go.  The right collection agency just makes sense for communities – Do not allow delinquencies to erode your community.

Home fire sprinkler system’s can save lives and property.

Home Fire Prevention Week

 

The public observance of Fire Prevention Week. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed Fire Prevention Week a national observance, making it the longest-running public health observance in our country. During Fire Prevention Week, children, adults, and teachers learn how to stay safe in case of a fire. Firefighters provide lifesaving public education in an effort to drastically decrease casualties caused by fires.

Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during the week of October 9th in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871, and caused devastating damage. This horrific conflagration killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures, and burned more than 2,000 acres of land.

 

Why firesprinklers?   • save lives/reduce injuries   • protect property   • reduce impact of fire on environment   • reduce business interruption   • reduce risk to firefighters   • increase community resilience
• preserve heritage   THAT’s why!


 

Today’s theme is “Fire is Fast”. Very few people realize how fast a home fire grows. Check out this 1 minute video which shows how a home fire sprinkler system can save lives and property.

During the COVID-19 crisis, recent news reports have shown a correlation between stay-at-home mandates and an increase in home cooking fires. The NFPA and HFSC say this trend emphasizes the importance of the need to educate about fire safety, the organizations said in a press release.

The organizations noted that fire sprinklers can help eliminate home fire deaths, but that legislative barriers and a general unawareness of the technology have prevented its use in new homes.

The Fire Sprinkler Initiative, a project of the NFPA and the HFSC, is co-hosting Home Fire Sprinkler Week, a North America-wide virtual effort to show the value of home fire sprinklers from May 17-23.

“Previously, public demonstrations to show the speed of home fires and the powerful protection of home fire sprinklers were the centerpiece of this week, attracting large crowds all over the country,” NFPA Vice President of Outreach and Advocacy and HFSC President Lorraine Carli said in a statement. “But life is very different today with the fire service at the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. And as public gatherings are inadvisable, this year we are acknowledging social distancing and simplifying fire service participation by providing a varied digital platform to flood the Internet with facts and messages of life safety.”

Throughout the week, fire departments and other public safety advocates across the U.S. can access digital content at the Home Fire Sprinkler Week Website and encourage their audiences to read and share daily messaging. The NFPA and HFSC will post home fire sprinkler videos, graphics and other information on their websites, through social media and via local news outlets.

*Each year, home fires cause eight of every 10 fire deaths and seven of 10 fire injuries, according to the NFPA, and fire sprinklers are proven to keep home fires small, preventing injuries, deaths and limiting property damage.
