    Complaint Type:
    Product Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    This is a complaint for BBB information purposes & a request for a refund of $450. CAM falsified budget documents & submitted them to lenders as they did in my initial closing in August 2021.CAM has admittedly & repeatedly done this because there is no real ************* nor is there a true effort to create one, so they falsify budget documents to make it appear the *** has more money in savings than it does. Thus, when Banks review CAMs documents, they feel more comfortable lending buyers a loan to live in a place they otherwise would not fund because it does not have enough money in Reserve to support itself as needed. (i.e.Repair water leaks, pool maintenance, building repairs, etc. as mentioned in other BBB complaints)After requesting an audit of the financials in Dec 22', I was immediately met with hostility & ultimately excessive fees, one of which being a $250 fee during the final moments of closing the sale of my unit on 2/14/23. I was verbally told AFTER closing that it was for a repair that I already fixed with acknowledgement by CAMs owner.Unbeknownst to me until after closing, the Board Pres. & CAM (without Board approval) plotted for weeks to charge me $250 at my closing without providing written documentation of said repair, nor send a notice of a violation as required by our By-Laws. Additionally, I was charged 2 transfer fees of $200 per assoc. (total of $400) which are not present in the management companys contract with the ***.The previous seller of my unit only paid $200 in total.Again, an increase in this fee is not listed in writing anywhere in the contractual agreement between the *** & CAM. I am requesting an immediate refund of $450 from CAM, but have failed to get a response.CAM has a documented history of charging excessive fees for minor repairs as stated in others complaints & targeting individuals of minority decent who oppose CAM. CAM & the Board are currently under investigation for Discrimination.

    Carolina Association Management (CAM), Faires Farms HOA, in Charlotte, NC is absolutely the most unprofessional and dishonest company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. The owner and the property manager are extremely slack in their response time to HOA members' complaints. They have a no care attitude as in "Hurry up and wait." The Board Members are just as bad. They are mostly members in "name only" and go around the HOA spying on homeowners and turning them in for minor infractions. Furthermore, these same Board Members get away with the same infractions that they report to the property manager. Proof: I know ALL of the Board Members names and home addresses. I have driven to each one to check them out. Not to my surprise, ALL Board Members had in common the same violation (plus others): roll out garbage cans. One Board Member even has his roll out garbage cans stored in front of his garage door; the rest have their cans on the side of their houses. I have proof. Photos were taken. According to HOA rules, roll out garbage cans are to be stored out of sight from street view. These 5 Board Members are not fined and their roll out cans have been in violation of HOA rules for many, many years. Here is another example of CAM's discriminatory and illegal actions: A neighbor was fined over $1000 for a car parked on a small section of grass and several shrubs were in need of trimming. Directly across the street, the house there had the same violations; however, that homeowner has not been fined. The HOA members have seen this type of discrimination time and time again. Also, when CAM sent out a 2021 Proposed Budget, the HOA members were being assessed to pay for SOCIAL COMMITTEE expenses of $300 (Welcome Committee) and $500 (Other) for a total of $800. CAM was asked to remove these 2 items since no one living here has ever had any contact with a Welcoming Committee and HOA members do not wish to provide FREE food and entertainment for CAM associates. No response about this yet, which I might add is typical of this company's cavalier attitude when it comes to Customer Service. We HOA members are constantly in contact with each other and are formulating strategies and legal advice on what needs to be done with CAM.
