I am in the process of selling my home and i knew that I owed back hoa fees which would be paid before closing. The law firm put a lien against my property for 23, 981.06 on March 7, 2022. On March 21, 2022 they tried to attach another lien for $8,920.20 for the same thing. Then they attempted a sheriff sale for a fee of 48,393.97 (all for the same thing). The judgement was denied by the court but the condo association is asking now for $66,000 += to satisfy this issue. I owe approximately 23,000 in condo fees. The attorney has added fees totalling $66,000 for attorney fees and late charges. That is 3 times the final payoff. I am willing to negotiate a settlement with the condo association but not at this price. I also have been asked to join a class action suit against the law firm for their shady business practices where they have agreed to pay $250,000 into a common fund for these practices. I am not sure what is going on with this..Business response

We settled before court. I tried on multiple occasions to contact the attorney, who would not return my call. This is the second time they have taken me to court, which is a violation of the fair housing act, since they charged excessive fees. Last time, it was over 7 thousand dollars for condo fees which did not exceed 2 thousand. This time, it was around 4 thousand for condo fees 1 thousand. I issued a check and they still have not contacted the district court to notify them that it has been resolved. Can you please help me get this situation resolved and marked as closed, so I do not get picked up for a parole violation? My credit score has also taken a hit, which makes it harder for me to qualify for housing elsewhere.
