We are in disagreement over some late fees.
I pay my HOA through the bank using auto-pay, the HOA gets a check in the mail. A year ago I got a call from HOA stating I was behind two months. I told him that was strange because the payment is automatically send by the bank and I wasn't having any problems until that point. They told me they had changed PO BOX. I told them I did not know and was not informed the HOA had changed the PO BOX number. The lady gives me the correct info and I proceeded to make the change. After I updated information with the bank they started receiving the payments as scheduled. A few months later I start getting a late fee notice in the mail. I of course do not feel I am responsible for paying those late fees since I was not informed properly of the address change
I was served the papers by a constable on the 17th of March. I wasn't even home, my aunt signed. The petition to sue was filed on the 21st of October 2015. So why is my aunt getting my papers served roughly 5 months later?
A few months back I tried to pay only the HOA dues is I owed them. The lawyer representing KRJ sent the payment back because I was not including the late fees.

I have docs supporting my position

You may be best served by trying to reach someone on the board about the issue rather than dealing with what I assume is a servicing company the HOA hires to deal with collecting the dues.

I have already spoken to them. I have already sent the county clerk my reply to the petition to sue. I have court date on the 24th of May

I probably should not comment, I am not sure if I can contribute.
