  For three plus years never had a problem paying my ***************. This month they come up with a charge if you use ach or debit card auto withdrawals. I call them junk fees. Just a reason to make more money.Tried setting up Bill *** from ***** Fargo.Check was generated on 12/1 and charged to my account on 12/4. Then on 12/6 Newtown withdrew the dues again and charged me the payment fee.On 12/11 they returned the dues but not the fees to my checking account. Now they say I owe December's hoa charge and a penalty of $37 dollars meanwhile I'm missing my dues for December. My wife tried talking to someone at the office but got nothing but disrespect and a hard time. We are filing a complaint

  Good Afternoon,

  Unfortunately, Appfolio (the system we use) started charging a $2.49 echeck processing fee as of 12/1/2023. This owner did have an autopay set up to pay "outstanding balance in full". This auto pay went through on 12/5/2023, but unfortunately, the payment was denied per the email below:

  Payment Rejected
  ******* & *********************************** payment has been rejected and they have been notified.

  Unfortunately, this caused the owner's account to be charged a $37.00 NSF fee, which we have asked the ***** of ********* to waive as the owner did pay via bill pay check as well. The owner's autopay through Appfolio was not deleted until 12/7/2023 at 1:27 PM after the autopay (which was rejected) was submitted. The HOA's bank account is charged for every rejected payment, which is why the $37.00 NSF was charged.

  Also, as we tried to explain to the owner, ***** Fargo, sends New Town a paper check for billpay. They withdraw the funds the day that the check is cut, not the day that we receive the check. ***** Fargo cut the check on 12/4/2023, however, we did not receive the payment until 12/14/2023.

  The NSF Fee was rightfully charged to this owner's account.
