Why does this sound familiar? Oh yeah, remember this one in Orlando for $338.91!? Vistas Homeowners Association pursues extreme option — foreclosure — against Korean War veteran

Foreclosure by homeowner associations over missed fees becoming more common since recession has emptied neighborhoods.

For six years, Ingrid Boak, who travels a lot for work as a racehorse trainer, ignored mail from her homeowner association.

Boak, of Lexington, Kentucky, says the letters were requests for $48 in annual fees for upkeep of the tidy neighborhood of one-story brick homes. Because she didn’t use the clubhouse or pool, or participate in social activities sponsored by the association, she didn’t think she needed to pay. Last September, while she was away, a neighbor called to tell her about a handwritten sign tacked to her front door. It said her house had been sold.
