Best Answer

I qualify my answer by telling you that this is a matter of state statute, which vary from state to state. I am an Ohio attorney and can answer the question from the perspective of Ohio laws. Ohio provides that a lien claimant who successfully forecloses on a mechanic's lien may recover its attorneys fees from the pot of money raised by the sale of the property at the foreclosure sale. If you live in another state please feel free to contract me at the email shown in my profile. I have a great list of highly qualified attorneys across the country from my participation in the American Subcontractors Association Attorney's Council, We can likely find an attorney who can help you in virtually any state. I have also attached links to Builders Exchange Magazine articles that I have written on Mechanic's Liens and related construction topics.

Is a title company required to clear or correct title to a recreation area owned by an association if the association made an error in interpreting CCRs?

Although there are few details provided it is not likely. If the association incurred legal costs due to its own error it must pay the legal costs to rectify its mistake. That would not constitute a title defect.Although there are few details provided it is not likely.

The card holder alone is responsible for any debt incurred. Which means if you loan it to a friend and they max it out, it is still your debt. The card holder has to take reasonable care not to let the card or the information be obtained by unauthorized person(s)And of course you gotta pay what you owe, or they get really, really grouchy. They can do other not so nice things to collect also.
