Of course, the banks just like any other owner who does not pay on time will NOT receive the discount offered, so yes when they pay they are penalised by not receiving discounts.
The non payment of dds is, hopefully a completely separate issue and one which many owners have suffered from in the past, seemingly banks block accounts fir apparently no reason.
For this latest quarter it is around 10 owners account.
The Administrator is forced to contact all these owners to inform them that the dd has not been honoured and to make payment by transfer or other means to ensure paying on time to receive the discount.
No idea about other dds for utilities for example which could result in owners being cut off IF they are not aware that the dd has not been paid.
Home owners need to check on their overseas accounts regularly.
In the same way that the Administrator has to keep pursuing the banks for not paying the last one or 2 quarters due to these supposed changes in internal management.
So yes more work for the Administrator and more involvement in making decisions for a President and Community Committee.
