This is one instance you should not ignore the demand letter as it looks like the association is preparing to file a collection suit. May I suggest you write the association a letter explaining your position why you are not paying the penalty, and that you are tendering the full amount for the association dues. You deliver the letter together with the amount; have the letter properly received and the amount receipted. The receipt may indicate that the amount you paid refers only to the dues and that excludes the penalties. You can ask HLURB at 9273061 for additional advice, also ask HLURB if the association has lost its right to collect the dues after certain number of years - prescription.

 

Good luck.

 

My mom received a registered mail yesterday from the homeowners association of a certain village. We were shocked when the letter states that my mom owes them 100k+ for the association dues. That includes 60k+ penalty that was imposed, since the letter states that she did not pay the dues since 1980.

 

My mom said that she will pay the association dues right away but for the penalty, she wanted they must waive it for the following reason:

 

She does not go to that place for a long time already so she wasen't aware of the rules the association makes. Since she is a member, she should be sent mails about new or changes made about the policies of the association. First of all she must be notified upon the first year when she did'nt pay the dues. She was not notified or mailed about the fees since 1980. They only informed her now when the dues had piled up. Thats why the penalty is more than the association dues.

 

To all lawyers here or people who have encountered this, what advise can you make regarding this dilemma? Thank you in advance.

@ MNdMud4s3x & linux_distro:

 

Thank you for your inputs sir, it helped a lot since I really don't know anything when it comes

with the laws of those homeowner's associations. I hope this would be settled in our favor.

 

BTW what does HLURB stands for?

Does your sister give you any written receipt every time you give her the monthly payment? You need proof that the money used for paying the car loan in the name of your sister actually came from you.

This is easy to prove. If you paid by checks, just get the returned checks from your bank. If it was via direct deposit, then just keep the deposit slips. If you paid directly, then you would have the OR for the amortizations. If you gave the cash to your sister without any receipt, well then it would be a bit more difficult.

hindi po bawal yun. its a management prerogative on when to outsource or do things in-house, because of cost efficiency.

but they have to either, re-assign the affected employee in an another department or kung walang assignment, they should pay for severance.

its not a legal issue, but an ethical issue. bakit mo kailangang takbuhan whereas you admitted that you are at fault. wala ka bang insurance sa oto or something? if this thing would happened to you, let's say, ikaw ang naging victim, would you be happy na tatakbuhan ka ng may kasalanan? kung ganyan ang attitude mo, hwag ka na lang mag drive. parang hit and run na rin yan. kung hindi kayo magkasundo, ask a lawyer to be there during your discussions so you come up with an agreement where both party wins.

 

maski i lost license mo yang license mo, pwede ka nyang itembre dahil alam nya license plate mo. maiimpound pa yang oto mo, na pwedeng maging problema if in case iba ang nagmamaneho o gumagamit nyan.

 

tsk.tsk.tsk... :thumbsdownsmiley:

but how does his work? i asked kung meron bang announcement tungkol dito. memo or notice sa bulletin board, wala naman.

 

today, feb 15, they were all asked to go to their HR dept. pagdating dun, they were given their paychecks. tapos sinabihan sila na wag na pumasok sa monday, dahil sarado na daw dept nila.

 

next monday, agency na daw magpatuloy ng kanilang trabaho. no turn-over. no endorsement. nothing.

 

yung paychecks naman nila, as in feb 1 - 15 lang ang covered.

 

walang additional to cover any separation or what.

 

basta ganun lang. binayaran ng last paycheck and then wag na daw pumasok.

 

ganun na lang ba yun?

sorry to butt in dudes. i think it depends. hindi pwede ang outsourcing if what you are outsourcing are positions which are "usually necessary or desirable in the usual trade or business of the employer".

 

file ka na lang ng illegal dismissal sa nlrc (sa ppsta banawe) then mag claim ka na rin ng lahat ng benefits including separation pay, para covered assuming na valid yung closure ng department.

 

my guess is, illegal practice to. example - a school cannot suddenly dismiss all its teachers tapos i-outsource yung teaching dahil in a school, a teach is a position which is usually necessary or desirable in the usual trade or business of the employer, which is a school.. kuha mo pards?

kung ganoon ka indispensable ang department mo, tapos regular employees na kayo, thats clear illegal dismissal to my mind.
