Foreclosures and Collections: Timelines and what to Expect
Community associations are now legally required to follow additional steps when collecting delinquent assessments because of changes to the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act and the RCWs governing community associations.
This presentation will cover these recent legislative changes and the steps required before an Association may commence an assessment lien foreclosure action. A basic overview of the foreclosure process, and discussion of post-judgment collection rights and options will be discussed.
Several collection related topics that will be reviewed in this presentation include actions an Association can take to collect delinquent assessments, what to say or not say to a delinquent owner, the stages involved in the collection process from pre-turnover to post-judgment recovery, and how a bankruptcy filing impacts collections. You will hear perspectives from both an association manager and attorney.
