After reading all of the comments - I don't understand why your Owners Association is now calling it a special assessment??? This is a late fee plain and simple. Your declaration should state what the association can charge for a late fee on late monthly assesment. At no time should the late fee be called anything else - since it is not an assesment. A lien on your property can be levied for late assesments - not for late fees, unless your declaration states that fact. Please read your declaration if you have a copy of it - if you don't have a copy of it you can usually get own through the county assesors office.

Jody R2 is being conned out of her house for a pittance and the law is letting it happen. Why is this being allowed to happen? What happened to fairness? When will the government finally step in?

JodyR2, I emailed you but no reply. If you didn't get it give another adress. What I was going to tell you is HOW -in Hawaii - after you pay them, you go about making them come up with proof or give you a refund without your having to hire a lawyer. There are several laws & agencies that help you. I have just began this, and it has to be begin immediately before/at payment, ...(to mail within 30 days), but it's up to you. If 'their' attorney will stop the foreclosure with full payment - or you can negotiate a compromise - make him a reasonable offer - then you don't have to hire an attorney. Just pay him and do the next process. Good luck!
