We were granted a chapter 13 over a year ago in which we surrendered out house. The lender, GMAC, has not sold the home, but keeps putting if on the market and taking it off. No one has lived there for the last two years, yet our HOA still expects us to pay for the road maintenance fees - even though we no longer even drive there or live there.

Is this right? What can we do?

Sorry, but when I tried to enter this in as a question, it kept cutting me off after just the first two sentences.

If you “surrendered” your home by executing a deed then you are not responsible for any charges that occur after that deed was recorded. You should check in the land records to confirm that deed is on record. Then send a copy of that deed to the HOA along with the bill for maintenance fees.

Association assessments are paid by the owner of record.

Once the lender takes legal possession by foreclosure no further fees are added to the amount due but the HOA can pursue payment of the past due amount.
