I have a similar Question about overdue payment of quarterly strata fees.
I didn’t receive quarterly notice for the levies and only found out about the overdue amount when the following quarters notice arrived.
The noticed stated there is a 10% PA over due fee applied, which has been my understanding of the penalty for not paying on time.
I paid the over due amount with the pro-rata calculated 10% interest component straight away.
Couple of days later I receive another notice in the mail that the over due calculation is out by $0.11 cents, and I’m now required to pay additional “stage 1 debt recovery fee” as well.
How is this possible, I never said I want going to pay , I never received the initial notice to remind me to pay.
Just because the mail went missing in the post they are presuming I had no intention to pay my levies.
Can they do this , is this the LAW?
Is this the reason for this line in section 80 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 1996 (NSW)?
“and the expenses of the owners corporation incurred in recovering those amounts.”
Shouldn’t they warn/remind me of the outstanding amount before sending out debt recovery charges?
Thanks
Ali.
