    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    In August of 2022, I attempted to set up reoccurring payments, effective September of 2022. I was charged three times for an *** fee of $484 (that has since went up $41 with no new ammenities or changes). The last payment did not go through, resulting in a fee. When I called to try to resolve this issue with Helsing, I was told it was the banks (CIT) fault. When I spoke with the bank, they said it was Helsings responsibility to address it, as they only process payments. It was months of going back and fourth between them with no resolutions. Finally, in February of 2024, the director of management division, *******************************, said that it was my fault and that they could not waive any fees; she also said I could speak with someone on the phone. After a couple of business days, a woman named ***** or ***** called me (not even ****** herself) called. This woman was extremely rude, socially awkward, and kept interrupting me. She then tried to invalidate all my concerns by saying that everything occurred before she took her current position and that there was nothing that could be done. I had also asked multiple employees why the *** fees had increased, especially because at one point the pool was not even available to use, and no one could provide an answer. ***** or ***** said it was due to increasing maintenance fees. She then said that the current president is very against an increase in *** fees (as if that would prevent them from increasing next year). Similar to ******, she was not helpful whatsoever, and further illustrated that this association lacks integrity, timeliness (addressing an issue after 1+ years is unprofessional), proper customer service, adequate problem resolution skills, and professionalism, in general. It also absolutely concerning that I pay $525 in *** fees for a condo and knowing that they will most likely continue to increase. I wanted to keep this condo and eventually rent it out, but the association makes me want to sell expeditiously.

    The worst company I have encountered in my life. They put me im collections for not paying HOA for 1 month. Helsing has no portal to see balance owed and they charge to call and ask for the amount. Then you have send them a cashiers check only and they will charge fees in between sending the check and its arrival. Absolutely avoid this company at all costs. These people are worst possible example of humanity.

    Hello *****,The Helsing Group is a ****************** hired to perform, amongst other duties, bookkeeping functions for your *********************** We follow the delinquency policy for your Association which is not set by our company but rather by your governing documents and your ***** of ********** If you were sent to collections then you would have not paid your assessments by the time required by your Association's delinquency policy. We have no charge for any calls to our office and we provide a website to your Association and it's members free of charge where you can view and print your entire account history. That said, due to collections laws, once you are in collections we are not permitted to talk with you about your account as we are not a debt collector and you are required to communicated only with your Association's collections company about balances owed and payment options. None of which are set by The Helsing Group. Your Association accepts many different forms of payments and none of those payments come to our office but rather are made directly to the bank with which your Association uses. They have multiple ways of payment options for you including echeck, credit card, and automatic payment. If there are any charges for those services that would be dictated by the bank, not The Helsing Group. We're sorry to hear you are having a difficult experience and are here to help if you contact us at ************.
