Thank you for your help. I did not ever become a citizen. When I came over, permanent residency was almost the equivalent of citizenship with the exception of jury duty and voting, neither of which was a hobby of mine. I guess I'll go down and talk to the local office. Thanks again.

You might try contacting the Citizens Commission on Human Rights in Los Angeles. That organization has been protecting people from psychiatric abuses for 30 years. Many state laws such as the new one in Texas that prevents teachers from recommmending psychiatric drugs were initiated by that group.

Sounds excessive to me. In my jurisdiction when I collected debts it was illegal to add collection fees. To get a fast answer, call a collection agency in your state. The HOA probably has some language in their rules that allow this. You may have trouble if there is. I am in an HOA myself. You...

As one who has personally seized bank accounts, I have never heard of such a statute. I am pretty sure that your bank would be aware of such a law if there was one.

I used to collect student loans. It didn't matter if you lived in Bangledesh. I would simply forward it to a branch of my company in that country. There are agreements between nations especially the US and Canada on lawsuits. I don't think that it will be that easy to get out of paying. Sorry.
