The Paul Miller Company

Refused to Auto Draft HOA Dues - as a pretense to extract late fees and spurious charges.

The Paul Miller Company appears to be a corrupt heartless, predatory organization. Of course, that is just my impression based upon their recent behavior. My estranged father died in April of last year. His cousin, whom I'd never met, emptied his bank account the day after he died. I didn't even know he was ill until months after the funeral because the cousin hid that information from me. His auto-draft account with the HOA went into arrears in May of 2021 - because the cousin emptied his bank account. When I found out what was happening, the cousin left with the cash and I received the keys to his condo - managed by the Paul Miller Company. After receiving the keys, I immediately contacted the Paul Miller Company HOA and authorized an auto draft for all subsequent HOA dues from my own personal bank account - to show good faith. I wasn't even named Administrator of my Father's estate until months later and assured the HOA that we'd address any past HOA dues during probate. But I wanted them to draft my account for all subsequent HOA dues to demonstrate good faith and build a positive relationship. To my surprise, the Paul Miller Company refused to draft my account for the HOA dues - as if their only goal was to keep piling on late fees, fees for answering emails, and even attorney fees - despite the fact that there was no dispute - I'd already agreed to pay. Interesting behavior - looking for any pretense to create conflict - as an excuse to bill nonsensical fees to a dead man's account. Way to prey on an 83-year-old man, who was dying in hospice care, and had his money stolen by a cousin. Way to punish his bereaved Son for forthrightly trying to set his dead Father's affairs in order. Ironically, the Paul Miller Company is located on "Church Street" - good luck on Judgment Day.
