Hi,
I have never posted a complaint before.
HOWEVER, I have had my share unfavorable experiences with this High Sierra Management company.

I own property in Lakecrest Village, Katy Texas.
I have been paying my dues on line per the prescribed bank on time for several years to High Sierra Management.
In that time I have consulted with a LITTANY of persons that have seemed to have been unresponsive, or simply negligent regarding cogent communication with payment of dues.
MOST RECENTLY...(Fall of 2018)
I was surprised to find that the bank High Sierra Management used to process HOA dues no longer accepted my payment. I was initially told by the bank that the login process had changed; but, finally informed that they no longer did business with my HOA.
THE ONLY COMMUNICATION I RECEIVED IN 2018 FOR PAYMENT PLAN IS LISTED BELOW COPY/PASTED BELOW:

THEN...(9/26/18)
I received a post that stated due to "technical issues...the 1-888 numbers were no longer available"... not a mention of any other changes whatsoever.
SO...
I went (1/27/18) to the physical office and paid the outstanding balance ($136), and talked with the person that said "SHE" was in charge of that: and agreed we would continue the monthly payment plan as per the last several years starting (1/31/19) for a balance of $575 in 2019.
TODAY (1/31/19)...
I walked into the office to pay the first installment ($47.91). I was told by SHERRI CAREY (President-partner) that the only payment plan offered by High Sierra Management is a division of 3 payments/yr. She further stated she was not aware of any other arrangements, and that any other concessions were made as a convenience to me.
When I told her that I was informed otherwise, she made it clear that her authority superseded that of any other employee there. I voiced that I have emails to support that evidence. She responded sarcastically, "you send those to me".
When I further asked for her superior she became incensed, and stated she has no superior, and that I would not like to pursue such a course.
UNFORTUNATELY...
We appear to be at the whim of a irresponsible, unethical, and negligent HOAs.
I would like to hear your thoughts. read more
