Your Lock Box Payment

Only your payment coupon and check go to the lock box, PO Box 63305, Charlotte, NC 28263-3305.

All the lock box does is process your payment and deposit in our checking account.

They cannot process any messages, changes, or requests.

If you want to get a message to us, change your mailing address, have an inquiry or suggestion, DO NOT MAIL IT TO THE LOCK BOX OR INCLUDE IT IN YOUR PAYMENT ENVELOPE.

All correspondence to the Association should be sent to 800 Callaway Court, Chattanooga, TN, 37421. 

Also, DO NOT send your coupon and payment to the Association at 800 Callaway Court. It will be returned to you.

Your attention to this will speed up your payment posting and insure correspondence gets to the proper party.



 

The Checks In The Mail

What do you mean my payment was late!!!!

I mailed it before the 20th

You mail it on the 19th and expect it to be posted on the 20th ….. It can’t be done.

As you know by now, your payments are sent to a Lockbox. The bank only processes on bank business days. Add to this mailing time, and it can take at least a week after you drop your payment in the mail until it is posted to your account.

And guess what? Your payment isn’t due on the 20th, IT’S DUE ON THE FIRST. After the 20th a late fee of 10% is assessed.

We still have members mailing to 800 Callaway Court, and even some mailing to A.L. James. And they’re not even aware of it.

Why?

Not updating the mailing information at their bank or bill paying service. Also, please change the date your check is mailed so it will arrive on the 1st of the month. You’ll avoid the late charge, and that’s when it is really due!

If you get a late charge don’t just ignore it. When you get a late charge, it's a problem that needs looking into. Email me and let’s solve it.

We want to maintain our complex in a manner that all members will be proud of. That requires cash. On time.

Not only do we have to cut grass and pick up trash, we must set aside reserves each year for future expenditures on roofs, gutters, painting, and roads.

Help us out. Be part of the solution – not part of the problem.

Lock Your Car

Let’s talk security.

Do you leave your car in your driveway at night? If you do, there are a few simple things to make your car, and indeed the entire condo complex more secure. You see, thieves like to go to neighborhoods where there are easy pickings. And they keep coming back.

So what should you do?
1. Lock your car. Seems obvious, but you would be amazed at how many are left unlocked.
2. Remove all articles of value from plain sight. Even if you lock your car and you leave a camera or cell phone in the seat you are a target. Guess what? Not only will you get your camera stolen, but you will also have to pay to replace a broken window.
3. If you have a radar detector remove the mounting bracket from the windshield. You don’t have to be a genius to figure out if there is a bracket there is either a GPS or radar detector somewhere in the car.
4. Don’t move things to the trunk. Take them inside. Remember that trunk release you have? Most thieves do.
5. If you are going to park in your driveway long term, consider installing a motion detector light fixture over your garage. While most thieves will realize this is what it is, most will just move on. Why take the chance.

These steps won’t guarantee you will be safe from a break in, but it will go along way to securing our complex.

If you see suspicious cars or persons in the complex call the Chattanooga police non-emergency number 423 698-2525.

If you see someone breaking in a car or a house, do not approach them, call 911.
