    I got mine yesterday but where is the letter showing the breakout of costs for voice, cable and internet fee.
    Did anyone get the letter showing the $175 break out itemized ? Do I have to contact FirstService or will they send it to everybody automatically ?

    Thank you.

    Interesting question! I havn't seen that breakout for some years now. I think you are the first in years to inquire about the individual costs..be careful in asking lest you get smacked with a legal bill like COGS did for asking about some other SWHOA stuff. Im not sure if you'll ever get an answer but good luck!!!!

    Most likely, Openband has not increased the charges.

    In the Landsowne case, Openband argued that the last time prices were increased was in 2006 and the statute of limitations have expired since then. To keep Landsdowne and SW from filing complaints on pricing, Openband is not increasing the rates. That's their legal strategy.

    I looked at 2013 letter and it was sent by Southern Walk at Broadlands Homeowners Association. It listed local phone service - $22.00, Basic cable TV / video service - $47.28, Basic Internet - $71.60, Taxes and Fees - $5.86 and Other - $38.26.
    It was signed by Erika Cotti. Can we get an updated letter for 2014 ? Anyway to contact SW HOA or Erika to request this letter be sent to homeowners ? or have PDF available online.
    Thanks.

    From the December Broadlands HOA newsletter (page 16): emcotti@me.com
    The other SWHOA Board of Directors email addresses are also listed.

    The lack of an effective means of SWHOA communication has been a topic of discussion on this forum for a little while now.

    Capricorn1964,

    They are bullies and they will continue bullying around until the members speak up..

    If 20-30 homeowners attend a meeting and demand accountability and change int he way they do business, they will mend their ways in an instant.

    We should not be scared by their tactics, whether it be illegal billing or police complaints against members.

    cogs, I think the word "bullies" is a very strong word here. I think they may be not communicating here due to their lawyers' advice. Just my thought here even though I could be wrong.

    Secondly, illegal billing??? Police complaints??? Care to elaborate here what you mean by these two allegations? This is the first time I've heard you say about "police complaints". Not sure what you are trying to say here.

    I can understand SWHOA board not openly discussing the Openband Litigation strategy etc.

    1. Illegal charges was an sarcastic reference to the Legal charges SWHOA charged against me. It's purely an attempt to bully me.
    2. SWHOA president has filed a complaint on false charges against me with the Loudoun County Sheriff's Department. This is also a bullying attempt.

    cogs, you may want to refrain from allegations on here because the public cannot help you with this nor will they get involved with matters like this. You are better served talking with your attorney about these matters. Putting all this stuff out in the public forum doesn't help you but can hurt you more since the SWHOA can be copying this stuff and handing it over to their attorneys. I suggest you refrain from discussing these sensitive matters here because it is not going to help your case and can turn people off here.

    I heard the complaint was baseless and would not be investigated.
    Anyone can use the online complaint process to file a complaint and say "See, I filed a police report." It doesn't mean it is true or will even be looked into.
    But, to me, it shows how far and deep into the cesspool SWHOA members are willing to go to ensure that a resident of SouthernWalk won't even be able to be on the election ballot.
    Sheesh!

    Capricorn - it's unlikely cogs takes any of your sound advice. He is on his own mission and wishes anyone would join him,and there is little chance of that.

    Problem is, cogs isn't the only one with a "mission".
