All Topics / Help Needed! / Body corporate sorting out fees in arrears
Hi,
Long story short, I don't have arrears and it is the management fault. I've discussed with the manager and everytime he say just ignore it. However, every quarter, I receive the fee notice and the arrears is still there and including interest on arrears as well.
Is there a way to legally ask them to remove it, so that it doesn't show in my account anymore? I'm afraid if there's a change in management then it'll be there forever and I'll have to pay.
BTW, this is in Melbourne.
Regards,
Gary
Hi Gary
I would be worrying about if they're applying interest to it.
Tell them to sort it out or you'll seek legal advice – just sounds like a lazy body corp to me.

Thanks Jamie.
Hi gng,
I would write to your strata management pointing out the errors of their ways and once again request the arrears be removed from your statement. I would also place a time limit for this to occur – say two weeks.
After time has elapsed, and assuming you do not get a response, follow-up with phone call to the manager you have been talking to find out if the matter has been attended to.
If the manager again says 'ignore it' then follow up with a further letter from you confirming that the debt is an error on their part and that you will not be liable for the debt and any subsequent accruing debt resulting from this matter.
You need to resolve the matter just in case new management come in and/or starting accruing interest on an outstanding debt
Thanks Derek. Great process to follow.
