The HOA turned the issue over to an attorney’s office for collections. We have been exchanging emails with them for the last 2 months. They told us they’d get back to us and didn’t respond for nearly 6 weeks. Then 10 days ago they said we owed an extra $200 but didn’t tell us where to send it. Now they say we owe an extra $400 or they will “proceed with a foreclosure action” in a bout 2 weeks. What can we do?
