## What do you think? Question:

I live in Illinois and am on the board for our association. We took over a mess from the previous people and owe several thousand dollars. The heat and hot water are common in the assessments. We voted to have a special assessment to bring things up to date we have 30 units - 5 in foreclosure. 16 people have paid or are making the arrangements and 9 have not responded. We spoke to some of them who basically said they are not going to pay. What action can we take or who should we contact in our state.
