If you already have a notice of a foreclosure sale, you need the help of an attorney NOW.

Foreclosure laws vary by State.

Had you come to this forum earlier, I would have suggested contacting the Board with checkbook in hand and enter into a payment plan. Now, it may have moved passed that. This is the reason why I said to talk with an attorney or legal aid ASAP.

I have just enough $ to pay off the past due balance now.. im state o california and i just doig. Search and im not sure but it seam like this is notice of levy writ of sale but there is not sale date. I have google about the situation and i do agreed law vary by state but seem california has 90 days right of redemption, while other post else where say if i first recd this notice i have 120$ to work with hoa or creditor to enter payment plan or pay off the due.. payment plan is not my option i want to pay off period..

Foreclosures stop as soon as you pay what is owed. My suggestion is to contact the HOA NOW to work out a deal. Some HOA's are willing to waive a few of the charges if your willing to pay off all of the DUES. However, once it's in foreclosure you may have to pay it ALL. You have up to the time to pay it off to stop the foreclosure up to the time they cry it out on the court house stairs.

Now some states there is a period of time after a foreclosure sale the original owner can buy it back. Longest time is a year. However, that costs even more. The owner now has to pay what they owe and then any additional money the new owner paid out for repairs/maintenance. I am thinking California either has no period like that or is like 6 months. NOT sure on that. (Right of Redemption).

So go pay off what you owe NOW if you want to keep the home. I've foreclosed on a house. All the owner had to do was pay what was owed and the foreclosure process stopped.

Im willing yo pay all due just dont know how to start what ground i take. Let put this way even if inwork with hoa them
Bod or forceslosure company .. sherfiff that bring paper put on my boor.. not sure whome should in contact any tell them yes i did fxck-up big tumez. Im here to pay off all my due.. and here is the money... just let get it over with. I search nolo.com there somethibg aboyt the right of redemption period but its to confusing what is non judicial

Some states give homeowners the specific right of redemption following a foreclosure by an HOA. In California, for example, if an HOA forecloses on a homeowner using a nonjudicial process, the foreclosure is subject to a 90-day right of redemption after the sale (Cal. Civ. Code ยง 1367.4). (Generally, there is no redemption period following the sale in a nonjudicial foreclosure of a deed of trust in California.

How long have you been a member in this HOA? You keep saying you don't know where to start. It's just like any other bill that is past due. You go to the creditor. It's okay to search around the internet for options and ideas, but contact the HOA NOW and tell them you have the money to pay. They probably will not even talk to you at this point. The next step is yours. You need to make the payment.

In my HOA there is a resident that is 5 years behind and the talks and discussions have stopped. It's litigation now.

Good luck. I hope you didn't wait too long, and I hope you don't lose your house.

You may or may not need an attorney.

But first, you should contact the HOA through their attorneys and request to negotiate a settlement. The notice has done what was intended and has gotten your attention. There's no reason to believe that the foreclosure has to proceed if you immediately contact the HOA attorney and request to negotiate.

In Texas, an HOA is bound by law to offer a delinquent homeowner a payment plan - you might be able to enter into an agreement for such a plan in your state.

Most courts do not want to foreclose on a property because a homeowner is delinquent on a couple of years assessments.

The OP does not necessarily have to pay off what is owed to stop the foreclosure. The foreclosure is an action brought by the HOA through its attorney and it can be stopped at any time by the HOA.

It might just be that if the OP immediately contacts the HOA attorney and requests to work things out that they will cease or delay the action.

You need to call the HOA attorney. The HOA manager can do nothing, all they do is manage the HOA for the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors have the absolute authority to settle the matter.

Get someone from the HOA attorney on the phone and speak to them.

The bod of this community pretty much relay in the management co. If the managment tell them that okay they will do it.. so pretty much bod work or management rather than management work for bod.. i have email the hoa attorney. Im awaiting for the to replay to my email should i call them? My concern if they nah we wont settle it we will process forceclosure. At at that point what am going to do. What type of paper i have to file at court to stop forceclosure.
