I was reading on the DRI members forum and ran across this response to a question about nonpayment of HOA fees and Loan repayment. They
first addressed what would happen on default:
"Yes, if a contract is in default, either due to unpaid maintenance fees/club dues, or loan (mortgage) payment, then this would effectively terminate the contract in question."
This was a discussion about surrendering points - that is the "contract being terminated".
Then a question was posed about other than losing the points what could happen. This was the response:
"Defaulting on a contract due to nonpayment of loan and defaulting on a contract due to nonpayment of HOA dues (Maintenance Fees) are two completely different situations. If you happen to default on your contract due to nonpayment of your loan, then your credit rating would definitely be effected. Whereas if you happen to default on your contract due to nonpayment of your HOA dues, then your credit rating would most likely be effected. In this situation, the decision, whether or not this delinquency is reported to the credit bureaus, is up to the Home Owner's Association Board of Directors, where your contract is tied to. I would refer to your "Promissory Note" for further information about your loan, and consequences for nonpayment, and refer to your "Purchase and Security Agreement" for further information about your HOA dues."
These responses were cut and pasted.
