notices are sent roughly thirty days apart from each other each requiring a payment due date before the next step in the
collection process takes place. If a homeowner pays in full before the payment due date then collection action will cease on that
homeowners account.
Priority of Payments: Interest shall bear on a late account per the governing documents of the Association. Payment on a
delinquent account shall be applied first to delinquent assessment, current assessments, attorney's fees, fines and last to other
amounts owed such as collection fee, late fees and interest.
General Policy: All fees/charges paid by the Association in connection with the collection of a homeowner's account shall be
reimbursed by the homeowner. "Non sufficient funds" (NSF) and/or "stop payment" checks shall be assessed a charge of
$25.00 paid to Spectrum and reimbursed by the homeowner.

reimbursed by the homeowner. "Non sufficient funds" (NSF) and/or "stop payment" checks shall be assessed a charge of
$25.00 paid to Spectrum and reimbursed by the homeowner.
The monthly ($20) collection fee is charged to the homeowners account each month the account remains delinquent and is paid
to Spectrum when the homeowner pays. The ($50) title search fee (if applicable) and the ($150) notice of lien fee (if
applicable) are paid to Spectrum when the service is rendered and charged to the homeowners account for reimbursement of
charges incurred.
Payment Plans: Payment plans shall be approved by management for extenuating circumstances and/or at management's
discretion. Homeowners shall be required to sign an agreement and abide by it. If a homeowner does not abide by the
agreement, then the homeowner shall be immediately turned over the Association's attorney for collection unless management
decides to waive this provision because of extenuating circumstances.
Collection of Account by HOA Attorney: Once an account is turned over to the association's attorney all methods of
collection shall be pursued. If the homeowner does not respond to the attorney's demand letter a lawsuit shall be filed and a
judgment obtained. If the homeowner fails to respond to the aforementioned action by making payment in full or by signing an
approved payment plan then the home shall be foreclosed in accordance with the governing documents and the current state
law. Once the home is foreclosed the Association shall move to evict the residents, collect payment for rent, and/or sell the
home in accordance with state law.
Other: This policy may be amended and/or adjusted by the Board of Directors from time to time without notice. Homeowners
