Aggressive Collections – A Method that Works

At the start of 2012, a condominium association in Waukesha, Wisconsin faced serious collection issues as a result of mismanaged files and accounts by its former property manager and attorney. More than 35 individual unit owners (40% of the owners) were delinquent and the association was owed more than $50,000 in delinquent assessments.  The association turned to us to develop an aggressive collection policy.

Lesson: Having a collection policy that turns over all matters for collection at 90 days will improve the financial condition of your association.

A collection attorney who specializes in condominium law can best pursue all the remedies allowed the association under the governing documents and state law.
