This complaint has most definitely NOT been resolved. Per my original dispute letter to Maxwell & Morgan, P.Cdated 12/15/15, we never received notification of the open amount due of $assessed 7/1/2015. I would like Maxwell & Morgan to indicate how the amount due was owed since there was no mail sent to the condo in question nor was it forwarded to our daughter in ** (who occupied the condo until 6/1/2015) nor to us in ***. We can hardly pay an assessment we don't know about.
Secondly, and more importantly, how did Maxwell & Morgan manage to locate us after an additional $1000+ in "reasonable" attorney's fees had been assessed and a lien filed on our property? Per the transaction report, the original $was assessed on 7/1/(and, again, how was this amount due supposedly communicated to us?) and by 10/28/they had already tacked on an additional $and placed a lien on our property. They then proceeded to charge an additional $in "reasonable" fees before they managed to locate us in ***
Further, per our research and with the assistance of an attorney, we noted that the lien certainly seems to have been illegally filed per A.R.S section 33-1256, which provides that an HOA lien "may be foreclosed only if the owner has been delinquent in the payment of monies secured by the lien, excluding reasonable collection fees, reasonable attorney fees and charges for late payment of and costs incurred with respect to those assessments, for a period of one year or in the amount of one thousand two hundred dollars or more, whichever occurs first." At the time the lien was placed, we had amassed TOTAL charges of $and the time period was only months
This is most definitely NOT resolved. Please note that the AZ Attorney General's office is also investigating this matter

I realize your complaint was 2015, however, may I ask the results or if Atty Gen helped? Maxwell and Morgan has disputed everything in the CC&Rs illegal or not. They lie to the judges, illegally foreclose on owners, and as you know so much more.

My hoa acct was sent to this firm while I was paying it and over $1000 of bogus fees were added to the balance was added to the

my how acct was sent to this firm and over $1000 in fees have been added while I was still paying it. Then they try to go back years and state that I owe for charges that were already paid and a lien was placed while I was paying on my account.

Ms. [redacted] owns a property in an HOA. Her property is subject to a declaration of CC&Rs, and A.R.S. § 33-1807, which provide that there is a lien on her property for unpaid assessments, late fees, collection costs, reasonable attorney fees and court costs. After the notice of claim of...

lien was recorded, she paid part of the balance, but not the collection costs, which are also secured by the lien. As a result, the lien has not been removed. This is an open collection account.

Ms. [redacted]'s complaints are without a** legal support. She is responsible for all collection costs pursuant to the CC&Rs that govern Desert Ridge, as well as ARS 33-1807, which state that all the charges incurred in the collection of unpaid assessments are secured by a lien on the property. This is an open collection file.

Exorbitant fees charged; a lien is immediately filed-- extorted money to release lien-- fees charged at attorney's hourly rate. For example, $45 is billed every time she /he touches the account. Refusal to provide a statement of account. After full fees are paid, refusal to remove lien. Never received calls, mail, emails or notification of debt or of lien filed.

Very unethical firm. [redacted] them and see how many times they've been to court because of extortion. They practice abusive collection tactics in clear violation of the Debt Collections Practices Act. They use vague language to try and bully homeowners to pay exorbitant "legal fees" that they have no right to collect. I'm sure the HOAs love them.

Very unethical firm! We currently have several individuals meeting with non Arizona based investigators to expose these corrupt individuals.

I have information and documentation that will help you with this firm. Please contact me 602-549-1916. Thank you.

This firm is very unethical! They will state amounts owed to the HOA, but refuse to release any actual statements. I actually have statements from HOA that shows the actual amount owed is far less than what they presented to the courts. Currently working to see what can be done when attorneys knowingly and willfully submit falsified documents to the court.

This is an open collection file.

The language in the CC&R's although states responsible for attorney fees and costs, does not leave it up to the law firm to determine the amount of those fees and costs, THE COURTS ARE TO DECIDE THE AMOUNT and there are Ninth Circuit cases that explicitly state they CANNOT ARBITRARILY PICK AN AMOUNT. Additionally, it is against the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act "FDCPA" for them to attempt to collect fees and costs that have yet to be incurred, and state future fees and costs. They have been brought before the Bar Association for violations, including supercharging liens, wiping out first deeds of trust, to which they responded that they, in their many years of practice, interpreted the law to say they could. That is how they got away with that. There are cases in the District Court that they have been held accountable for.
