I am trying to resolve my past due HOA fees as part of the loan modification process with XXXX. When I contacted my HOA I was informed that my account has been placed with a debt collector attorneys firm. When I contacted the attorneys office they stated I needed to pay them either {$200.00} or {$300.00} just for them to tell me how much I owe them. The more I paid them the faster they would provide the information. I find it difficult to believe that this bullying tactic is even legal. It is certainly NOT ethical.
