You may be my last contact for help. Thank you for taking time to read my plea.

 

 

Shortly after I moved in, I met with the DirectTV installer where we discussed placement of the Satellite

 

 

Dish. Never having lived in a Condominium Development before, I was not certain what to do so I

 

 

phoned the management office to seek advice. Fortunately the then HOA Office Manager, Kirt was

 

 

available and walked over to my unit to offer advice. The questionable location was a structural column

 

 

which sits on my patio. Because the column was within the confines of my patio, I was granted permission

 

 

to have installed said Satellite Dish. That was then .

 

 

 

 

 

A year later, 11/29/07, I received a notice stating, "Satellite dish was installed without prior approval from

 

 

the HOA. Please submit an architectural request form." Also noted, correct the violation by 12/13/07.

 

 

On 12/05/07, I personally spoke to Nicole, the now HOA Office Manager. I made mention that I did

 

 

receive permission by the then HOA Office Manager and her response to me was, he is no longer here. I

 

 

began to tear apart my condo in search for the letter from the then HOA manager granting me permission.

 

 

To my amazement, I found it. I scanned a copy and emailed it to Ms. R. She responded stating that

 

 

the text was not that of R & G, the then HOA Management Company. I was furious. What was she

 

 

insinuating? I went to the office in search of Ms. R to find out exactly what she meant. After several

 

 

failed attempts, as she is rarely in the office, I once again emailed her asking to be specific as to what she

 

 

meant. She returned an email stating "The letter appears to be altered, I would have to see the original

 

 

R & G letter head and Kirt's original signature.

Thanks for your work on Homeowner Associations. This HOA spent 1 Million in legal fees in a 2 ½ year

 

 

period so they have deep pockets. The Board filed liens and foreclosed lot owners for unpaid dues. They

 

 

have ruined so many lives! I have obtained a copy of the legal opinion from the Association attorney

 

 

telling the Board that there was no collection authority in the deeds. I have copies of email exchanges

 

 

between board members discussing the problem in the deeds and to seek pursue collection regardless.

 

 

Unfortunately the local courts are not interested in HOA matters and it’s difficult to fight the HOA.
