What would you do? Part 2

A while a ago I posted about being called to testify in a lawsuit regarding excessive fines. The ex-resident was suing the HOA alleging he was signaled out for fines due to a bias on the board. As an ex-board member, I was in possession of emails between board members that supported his allegations. I said I would let everyone know what happened...

I never got the chance to testify- right after the HOA President testified the HOA attorney consulted with the Board (a quorum was in attendance) and came back with an offer to the ex-resident: drop all fines and collections, drop any requests for attorney fees and to send letters to the credit bureaus to rescind negative reporting. I think the HOA President sounded so biased that even the HOA attorney knew it was time to cut and run.

So- 100% defeat of the HOA and their biases toward this resident. A good day for Lady Justice.

It is too bad the HOA took it to this extent- even though the HOA does not have to pay the ex-resident for its actions; they racked up thousands in unnecessary legal expenses.

Thanks again for all the feedback on the original post!

Good for you but bad for your HOA...Feels good to have some of that stress of your shoulders. It was pretty clear the HOA wasn't going to win. There was no way despite your email copies. The HOA just didn't have a case. Hope next time they realize where all that money came from to pay those legal bills...Their wallets...
