Associated Professional Services

Homeowners,

Get a copy of the Contract between the HOA and the Management Company, and have an attorney look it over. This Management Company has a reputation of nickel and diming self-managed associations. Once they are discovered, it's too late... They will simply state they were voluntarily providing services. All along you will think there is a legal contract, but they will not take any responsibility for their negligence but simply point the finger at the HOA for not hiring a professional management company, well aware that most self-managed HOA's board of directors know very little of the responsibilities they have. This is how Associated Professional Services operates. By taking advantage of you!

Associated Professional Services has been the sight manager of my condo since They have no solution to any of the issue around the complex and they keep on raising their feeThe complex still looks like a dump and there is absolutely so presence of them at the complexIt's a money scam and their so called "professional management" is no where to be foundThey will leave you after your HOA runs out of fundsOne of the unit lived there for mortgage free and HOA free since and Associated Professional Services was not able to do anything and still lives there for freeIn the mean time, any home owners are left to pay for specials fees to balance the budget because they can't seem to manage anythingI personally paid special fees more than once since I own my unit since They keep on increasing the HOA monthly fee and I have yet to see any "professional service" from Associated Professional ServicesMatter of fact, it's getting worse

Our company has a bookkeeping contract with his association.We do help the Board of Director’s on as needed basis but only on their authorization. His complaints need to go to the Board of Directors before we can respond to anythingUntil recently he was behind in his payments for quite some timeThe association has a collection policy that by law needs to be followed and he was asking for an exception that there was no way the Board could agree to. He was never banned from using the laundry room. No other homeowner complained about the water temperature or pressure. It is believed that he tried to tamper with the water heater that may have caused the problem. His issues should be directed to the Board of the Association and not our companyWe are merely are n intermediary . Let me know if this is a sufficient response. Sincerely, *** * ***

After leaving your office there was an issue eating at me and I feel compelled to address it for clarification.Associated Professional Services; statement stated criteria regarding a lien, and what they were referencing if half truth to cloud the facts of the complaint.LIENS’ DISTINGUISHING TRAITSAll liens have two specific traits: They’re either voluntary or involuntary, and they’re specific or general:Voluntary or involuntary: You either agree to have a lien put on your property or it’s put there against your will.A voluntary lien is where the property owner willingly takes some action that enables the placement of a lien against the propertyA mortgage is the most common example of a voluntary lien.An involuntary lien is placed on the property against the owner’s willIf the property owner owes money to someone, such as the tax collector, and the owner doesn’t pay, a lien is placed on the property.***Associated Professional Services; addressing criteria of an INVOLUNTARY LIEN, and are ignoring the fact of my submission of a VOLUNTARY LIEN in the statement to youAs a point in fact, they have made a statement of omission acknowledging the Voluntary Lien and are liable in a case within a court of law of Professional Misconduct and or Ethics Violation of intentional misdirection and or deceitTheir digging themselves in to a deeper hole.It's Professional Negligence, for an Involuntary Lien action can not go the the court without first addressing the Voluntary LienThey're trying to BS their way out, and personally I am going to hold them accountable.Best regards,*** ***

Associated
Professional Services is not a party to this dispute. The complainant is a
member of a homeowners association. The association's bank provides...

lockbox
services (receipt, deposit and recording of payments).
Complainant
is to send her payment to her association's bank by the 1st of each month. Her association
provides an additional 15 day grace period before a late penalty is charged. On
the 16th of the month, Associated Professional Services is contractually bound
to record a late charge on complainant's account if the association's bank has
not reported receiving her payment.
Complainant
has the duty to adjust her payment schedule or method of payment to ensure the payment
is received by the association’s bank by the 1st of each month.  The association subscribes to many payment
processing services which are available to the complainant.  Complainant must use the payment method best
suited for her needs in order that the payment is received by the bank on the 1st
of each month.
Finally,
the association historically allows waiving one late penalty per 12 months as a
courtesy for extraordinary circumstances. 
Complainant was already afforded this courtesy within the past 90 days and
is not eligible for another fee waiver until January 2015.
Associated
Professional Services does not control the due date, the grace period or when
the bank reports receiving complainant’s payment.  Given that complainant was the only member of
the association in April to pay late, we suspect no prevalent problem with how
the association’s bank is recording the payments.

The HOA is self-managed. The Board uses APS to handle the accounting functions of the HOA and to assist in administrative duties on a as needed basis. The Board of Directors provided APS with the letter and requested that it  be mailed to the owner.  We will be in touch with...

the Board of Directors with the Revdex.com complaint to confirm that all notices to the owner regarding the suspensions were done.  If not, the Board will need to begin the suspension process over.  In addition, Assessments liens are not something that is voluntarily signed for by an owner upon their request. In the State of CA, the law is detailed on the process on how liens can be voted on and recorded. The Board of Directors is exercising their right in accordance with the State of CA and the Civil Code on this matter. The Board of Directors intent is not to cause stress on an owner, but the Board of Directors has the fiduciary duty to protect the financial interest of all owners within the community.

I've attempted to login, upload, and provide a reply to your request for further information. Unfortunately I am kicked out using a [redacted] My reply is as follows;The attached documents received by United States Postal Service is now a Federal Document admisable in a court of law. From Associated Professional Services. The contents of the letter references Bylaws Article VII, Section 1(1), trying to in force it's provision. Sadly, this attempted enforcement is in violation of California Law as January 1st, 2013; I do believe. The letter states that the 'Directors Have Decided' yet there are no signatures. Only the contact being Associated Professional Services, [redacted], not once but twice. If in fact this was executed by the HOA; President, Secretary, or Treasure; APS should have no problem providing verifiable proof of such communication. Email with the headder information, time/date stamps, and server chain information. Professional Negligence: a licensed individual would know that this is an illegal provision of common equal shaired property. IS [redacted] LICENSED? Harassment: I addressed my arrears of the HOA dues by stating I would voluntarily sign a lien. My voluntary cooperation stops any further proceedings. But apparently there is a breakdown in communications. The approach is obtuse in nature, for my voluntary cooperation should have been followed through on and addressed for it's resolution to all parties.[redacted]

Associated Professional Services has been the sight manager of my condo since 2007. They have no solution to any of the issue around the complex and they keep on raising their fee. The complex still looks like a dump and there is absolutely so presence of them at the complex. It's a money scam and their so called "professional management" is no where to be found. They will leave you after your HOA runs out of funds. One of the unit lived there for mortgage free and HOA free since 2008 and Associated Professional Services was not able to do anything and still lives there for free. In the mean time, any home owners are left to pay for specials fees to balance the budget because they can't seem to manage anything. I personally paid special fees more than once since I own my unit since 2007. They keep on increasing the HOA monthly fee and I have yet to see any "professional service" from Associated Professional Services. Matter of fact, it's getting worse.
