Initiation

The first phase, when entering the HOA collections process, is initiation. This stage is the starting point at which a few steps occur on our end:

  1. The SNAP Collections Agreement is reviewed and signed by the board of directors.
  2. Underwriting begins with a review of your association’s governing documents.
  3. Each ledger is checked and owner is verified.
  4. Optional ledger audit is performed.
  5. Begin ongoing ledger maintenance for delinquent ledger.
  6. Skip Trace is performed.
  7. Initial Demand letter is sent (compliant with Fair Debt Collections Practices Act).
