30% not paying assn. fees

After attending the board meeting this past week. It has been brought to my attention that 17% of the units are deliquent in their assn dues (there are 193 units in our complex). As a result of this, the association (and management company) is requiring that the rest of us incur a 12% increase in our monthly dues.

My question is: what can we as homeowners do about collecting these fees? According to the board, this totals to about $60,000 in fees that is owed to the association. If this ammount where to be collected, the board admits that such a large increase in the assements would not be necessary.

I thank you in advance for any time you would take in responding to my question.

Sincerely,

**A: what kind of idiots are running the HOA? The simply hire a HOA attorney to send demand letters and continue collection activities up through and including taking the deadbeats to court, getting a judgement, filing a lien and foreclosing on the units.
