How would the posters here still feel about the do-not-name-names mantra if they were to discover that the most chronic deliquents in their associations were members of the BOD? And these directors are using their positions to shield themselves from the normal collection activity.
I expect that I would have found this out be being elected or appointed to the Board. If not, I would make sure I was elected to the Board so I could be in a position to properly address the issue.
I still wouldn't post the names. |

I have been an active poster on this subject and what I have drawn/taken/learned from the discussions and how I presently think is:
1. I believe an HOA should have a policy in place, all are aware of the policy, and it is fairly/equally enforced.
2. I believe the original steps of the policy should be friendly, polite, etc. but escalate as time goes on.
3. Prior to legal action I would report in the "whole" (like so and so % are behind and we are pursuing them as per our policy) with nothing mentioned that could lead nor make people suspect as to whom is in arrears, be it lot numbers, who is not in the arrears, etc.
4. Once legal action has started, I would have no issues in naming names, amounts, action taken, etc.
The first step is #1 above.

Wouldn't change my opinion on bit...if your board is abusing their powers you have bigger fish to fry than collecting their assessments. |

| new member here... our Board always handles delinquent accounts in Executive Session, just like most if not all other Boards. It sure seems to me like making publicly-available a list of members who are or are not delinquent, whether by lot number or by name, plainly violates the spirit of keeping confidential such issues and is obviously an effort to shame those with delinquent accounts. It may even violate the letter of such a policy. Publishing a lot number is little different from publishing a name, no matter the size of your HOA. Publishing a list of current accounts is little different from publishing a list of delinquent accounts. If your Board handles delinquent accounts in Exec Sess, then clearly the intent is to keep the issue of specific accounts that are delinquent confidential and therefore great care should be taken before disclosing *any* information related to such accounts. Imagine if John Doe was six months' delinquent and a Board member announced, "I'm not going to say who's delinquent but his last name begins with D and ends with E." |
