Payment Plan Agreements:

The Great Northwest offers payment plans agreements if you are unable to pay your assessments in full.  A payment plan agreement offers the option to pay-off account balances with affordable monthly payments and may eliminate collection costs and attorney referral. 

 

When entering into a payment plan agreement, the homeowner commits to paying assessments in installments on specified dates, and in return, the association agrees not to impose collection costs.

 

If the homeowner does not fulfill the obligation of making monthly payments, they are in default, rendering the agreement null and void. In addition, the association may add back any collection costs previously omitted and may refer the account to the association’s attorney.

 

Finally, the association may deny the payment plan agreement to homeowners who have defaulted in the previous two years.  If you are interested in entering into a payment plan agreement, please contact the main office at 210-681-2983 for more information.
