Ah, good catch. That ruling made no sense to me, since creditors are allowed to harass people who owe them money (at least the rules for calling and things like that don't apply). On the other hand, I think that publically ridiculing someone is just a bad idea in general. There's a difference between disclosing which units are not paid up and putting someone's head on a goat's body and using comic strip fonts for a Hall of Shame.

Some light trivia for you all...

And the winner is.....THIS TOPIC for:
Most Views: 1,476 as of today, just passing the "Cats on Leashes" topic.
Most Pages: Now 5 (and the 'Cats' only got 4 :-)

A bit of trivia for you: Click the column header "Views" two times and it will be sorted with the highest views first. Guess what the 4th most popular topic is? "Posting Delinquent Homeownwers" with 1,061 views :-)

We just want to thank everyone here for being so involved and helping so many communities with your advice! It's great to see so many active discussions here.

Thank you all!

Even if your CC&Rs allow this, Federal law over rides it. Section 804 (2) of the Fair Debt Collection Act states that telling a third party that you owe a debt is illegal.
Actually, you can write anything in CC&Rs, but if it conflicts with city, county, state or federal law, it cannot be enforced. Harold





As a Realtor I can justify and say this is the truth. Thank you Harold.
