Judge orders HOA insurance company to pay family $20,000
MINT HILL, N.C. —
Brian and Lori Phelps are finally at peace in their Mint Hill home.
They didn't know a 2009 move from California to the St. Ives neighborhood would end in a big court battle.
Brian Phelps said the HOA started charging them with violations when they planned to build a patio. After 14 violations, fines and even a lien on their house, the Phelps got a lawyer.
“We felt we had no choice," said Brian Phelps. "The gun was to our head."
They sued St. Ives.
Earlier in July, a judge ordered the HOA insurance company to pay the Phelps $20,000 for attorney fees.
The hoa is overpriced for what we recieve and for the lack that the association puts out its rediclious
ReplyDeleteWe do pay to much, another neighborhood built by Mercedes about the same size with the same style homes was built in Rock Hill, when they homeowners took over there, they fired the management company that Mercedes hired got their own and lowered the monthly fees to $75.00 a month, and have done fine ever since.
ReplyDeleteThe problem here is no one seems to care, no one shows up at the HOA meetings anymore, and we let them get away with just ignoring us and doing what they want.
