## What do you think? Question:

I have read a report from an attorney's blog that the condominium who takes a unit owner to court to foreclose has to foreclose within one year and take the lien off. I was in this position but I had provided copies of all my payments. The Board was not maintaining their ledgers therefore I had to prove I had paid them. I became ill (disabled) before the trial which I called for; doctor sent letter excusing me from trial then..I have gotten worse. My payments were never brought up although seen. It's been since 2009. Do you know the statue that supports this claim from the other attorney? Thank you.
