The Challenge: Recovering Nearly a Decade of Unpaid Dues
Williamsburg Square Townhomes faced a familiar but frustrating challenge: a homeowner had left behind nearly 10 years of unpaid dues, compounded by a long-standing judgment. These delinquent funds had sat unresolved, with no clear path forward and no indication the former owner would resurface.
For many communities, recovering this kind of debt is a losing battle, especially when years have passed. The board had little hope of retrieving the funds without professional help.
The Solution: ACS’s Strategic and Legal Expertise
The situation at Williamsburg Square Townhomes changed when they partnered with Atlanta Community Services. ACS immediately began tracking the status of the homeowner and explored legal avenues to secure any possible future recovery.
To prepare for the unlikely but possible event of a property sale, ACS had the foresight to file a Writ of Fieri Facias, a legal tool that allows for the enforcement of a judgment through property liens. It was a proactive move that would prove critical.
Then one month, the unlikely happened: the delinquent property sold.
Thanks to the lien ACS had in place, the association was able to recover both the recent dues and the 10-year-old judgment which was a major financial and operational win for the community.
The Results: Turning Recovered Funds Into a Community Upgrade
Rather than letting those recovered funds disappear into the budget, the board — with ACS’s guidance — is using them to make a tangible improvement. New community mailboxes are on the way, benefiting every homeowner and boosting curb appeal for the entire neighborhood.
Why It Matters: This success story highlights the power of having a management company that’s not just reactive, but strategically proactive. Without the experience and legal foresight of ACS, Williamsburg Square Townhomes likely would have lost out on thousands of dollars and the opportunity to reinvest in the community.
