6 Association Reporting Timeline

• Our reporting follows FCRA timelines which can benefit the homeowner

• The account status that is reported each month is determined by the delinquency policy for each homeowner association.

• Reported as “Delinquent with a balance” if payment is made 31 days or more after the due date

• Reported as “Current with a balance” if payment is made prior to 30 days past the due date

• Associations rely on methods that occur late in the delinquency lifecycle.

• Current practices are outdated, reactive, and do not leverage technology.

Current Delinquency Practices

Reactive Methods• Demand Letters• Certified Mail• Collection Attorneys • Liens• Litigation• Personal Judgements• Foreclosures

These reactive methods are used when it is too late, and the problem is too big.

These methods are Outdated, incredibly slow, and extremely expensive.

& Management

Assessment reporting has the ability to:

• Reduce legal costs.

• Improve association cash flow.

• Dramatically reduce delinquencies.

• Improve probability of capital improvement loan approvals.

• Expand individual access to credit.

Benefits Associations, Owners,

• Reduce specific budget line items.

• The HOA assessment is weighed heavily by the credit agencies because it is a revolving credit line.

• Typically after 1 year of current reporting on a revolving trade line, an individual can expect to see a significant point increase to their credit score.

• Higher credit scores can translate to lower rates on car loans, credit card rates, and home mortgage loan rates.

Personal Score Increase

• Our reporting can be offered À la Carte to your associations, allowing boards to customize their service packages.

• Establishing the service is no cost to a management company and when an association wants to take part in the program they simply sign our HOA agreement to activate the service.

• Once an association adopts the service, there is no cost or billing until after reporting begins.

• Our service can be used as a powerful differentiator when on-boarding new accounts and as a client retention tool.

Specializing in privacy and consumer reporting. Mr. Marquis served as General Counsel of Trans Union LLC for over 24 years. He also served on the Federal Reserve Board's Consumer Advisory Council.

• "There should be no fear that an HOA is operating in the capacity of a collection agency when that HOA is reporting account information to a credit bureau any more than Chase or a landlord or a cell phone company become collection agencies when they report."

Mr. Oscar Marquis, Esq.

• “It is well-settled law that FDCPA applies only to debt collectors, not entities to whom money is owed.”

• “…reporting account information to a credit bureau will allow associations to achieve and maintain the same cash flow management leverage and capabilities that banks and lenders have when they report account information."

• "Adding homeowner assessments to credit reports helps consumers as well as HOA's without adding any significant business or legal risk to the HOA's."

• “…Fair Credit Reporting Act provides immunity from individual consumer lawsuits for reporting information. Only Regulatory agencies can pursue violations.”
