Is it legal for a company to charge extra for not returning a payment coupon to them with your check?
I pay my homeowner’s association dues with an electronic bill paying service rather than send a check with the payment coupon. The management company receiving my check wants to charge me an extra $7, as they say it takes them time to look up my account info which they would normally scan from a bar code on the payment coupon. Is it legal for them to charge me extra for this?
It may depend on the state you live in. In general, I would say that this is legal, however it is not very good business. It shouldn’t take any time to find your account if they have the proper technology. It seems like the company is trying to squeeze your association for all they are worth.
In the short term, you might try asking the management company if they have other ways of receiving payment, i.e. a website. Some management companies have the ability to receive assessment payments through their website. This would save you the fees and still make your payments easy.
If they don’t offer a website or any other way of paying, and they nickel and dime you, I suggest asking the board to find another management company.
