Consumer Narrative
I began a lawsuit against my HOA last year after they began collection activities in XXXX and placed a lien on my home. Starting last year, they began refusing payments made toward HOA assessments. Additionally, a non-attorney provided legal advice in her correspondence with me ( XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX ). Additionally, I disputed the initial letter they sent and they failed to identify the original creditor of XXXX of the fees. I am a " consumer '' under FDCPA. and I allege XXXX, retained by the Association to collect the debt, is a " debt collector '' under the FDCPA. I also allege that XXXX violated the provisions of the FDCPA by attempting to collect future costs that I do not owe. The debt I owe to the Association arises out of a transaction entered primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. The file named " XX/XX/XXXX '' was the initial collection letter and the letter named " XX/XX/XXXX '' was the follow up after I disputed. I've also included a copy of the letter accompanying the lien they placed, named " XX/XX/XXXX. '' Please note to whom they state to make my payment payable as XXXX Parkhomes. The {$150.00} Transfer Fee belongs to In XXXX XXXX as shown in Attachment A of the PDF named " Contract '' which is the agreement between XXXX XXXX and In XXXX. They waived this fee in the file named " XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. ''
