300+ C. Florida Condo Residents Face The Boot Over Unpaid Electric Bill As Delinquent Unit Owners Facing Foreclosure Stiff HOA On Maintenance Fees

In Orange County, Florida, WFTV-TV Channel 9 reports:
  • More than 300 Orange County residents could be forced out of their condos again because of unpaid power bills. WFTV reported two weeks ago that Progress Energy shut off power to the Blossom Park condos [...]. Management officials told WFTV they've been trying to pay the bill, but say they can't catch up because so many homeowners have skipped out on paying their homeowners’ association (HOA) fees.

  • Residents were in the same bind two weeks ago and called WFTV. Some feel like the complex managers are mismanaging the money being paid by owners. WFTV went to the office Monday and management said they paid Progress Energy $30,000 to get the utilities turned back on before and worked out a payment plan. But managements says it hasn’t been able to stick to it. Management blames owners and says 30 percent are in foreclosure.
