Condo Collection Services
Condo collection services require a far more neighborly, community-oriented approach than even homeowners associations or property owners associations when trying to collect unpaid fees. That’s because in a condominium complex, neighbors’ homes are literally connected to one another — so member relations are even ‘closer’ in condos (pun intended). When some owners get behind on assessments, the financial health and harmony of the community can be at risk.
Condo board members and property management companies are looking for a solution that’s simple, effective, affordable – and most importantly, neighborly. They need to maintain common areas and help keep property values high, while preserving their reserve funds. They need to collect late fees without attorneys and legal expense, or triggering undue drama in the community. A simple solution that fits between sending demand letters and pursuing legal action.
Condo Collection Agency’s More Neighborly Approach
The common sense condo collection agency process communities are now turning to is Community Collection Service (HOA division of BBB ‘A+’ Rated NCSPlus). With decades of HOA collections service across all 50 states, and tens of thousands of accounts handled, CCS offers a transparent, flat‑fee solution that centers on:
- Credit Reporting Based HOA collection services that motivate payment.
- Clear Communications that assure professional prompting to condo association members with letters, phone calls, emails, and text messages.
- Advanced Skip Tracing to ensure messages that hit home with condo owners, even when they live out of state or own rent units.
- NO Hideen Fees — and condos keep 100% of their collected dues!
The approach is respectful, harmonious, and always instructs condominium members to pay their board (or its agent) directly. Our job is simply to locate and motivate property owners, and to bring member’s condo dues on par with their other credit-reportable monthly bills.
Why Condo Communities Prefer CCS
- Preserves Community Harmony. Instead of lawsuits, liens, or foreclosures, CCS uses a gentle but effective mix of communications and credit-reporting to motivate homeowners to get in touch with your board and work out payment or arrangements. This harmonious form of assessment collection keeps things neighborly, and eliminates emotional drama and exorbitant legal fees.
- Affordable Flat Fee Service. With our flat fee model, there’s only one low cost per delinquent account submitted. There are NO surprise fees (unlike “No Cost” agencies) and no contingency percentage to pay. Boards have a known, transparent process they can count on that preserves their reserves account.
- All In One Transparency & Control. Board members gain access to a secure online portal with 24/7 real time reporting: you can see when every letter is sent, when every phone call is made, and even our internal notes from our phone conversations with condo owners. Your board maintains control over every step of the process.
- Built-In Compliance & Expertise. CCS strictly adheres to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, CFPB rules, and NCAP guidelines—plus all state and federal laws, regulations, and statutes.
- Superior Skip Tracing for Rental & Out of State Owners. Many condo boards deal with delinquent accounts where owners don’t live in the condo unit, or where the unit is a rental property. CCS uses proprietary information services to accurately locate owners with state of the art skip tracing. This ensures all your communications for payment reach each homeowner.
How It Works — An Effective Timeline
CCS implements a proven service timeline combining:
1: Skip tracing to locate owners and ensure clear communication.
2: Optional payment plans are established by the condo board.
3: A series of polite yet direct letters, followed by phone calls, text messages, and emails.
4: All communications inform homeowners of impending credit reporting, and direct members to pay their condominium association directly.
5: Credit reporting to all three major credit bureaus if dues remain unpaid after 100 days.
