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.
