Mail / Coupon Book
Minimize
After the Board sets the budget for the next calendar year, coupon books will be mailed in late December.  Homeowners who elect for the Automatic Withdrawal(Direct Debit/EFT) program through EPM will not receive a coupon book.

Homeowners are requested to return the coupons with their payments in order to allow for quick and efficient crediting of their payment.  Envelopes are also provided with the coupon books for your convenience.

If you have misplaced your coupon book or need to make an extra payment, please use the following address to mail your payment to the lockbox:

     Ravens Crest East Condominium Association
     c/o Executive Property Management
     P.O. Box 64148
     Phoenix, AZ  85082-4148


Please put your account number on your check.  Your account number is located on the coupon and can also be obtained by calling either the on-site office (609) 275-7353 or EPM's main office (732) 821-3224.

Be sure to mail your payment in plenty of enough time before the date it's due and to account for the time it will take for your payment to get to Phoenix, Arizona.

Your payment will credited the day it is received by the bank, not the day it was post-marked.
Automatic Withdrawal / Direct Debit/ EFT
Minimize
Executive Property Management (EPM), the Association management company, offers the feature to have your monthly fee automatically deducted from your bank account.  This will save you the hassle of writing a check, paying postage and mailing it.  It also ensures your payments are timely credited avoiding any late fees.

The Automatic Withdrawal is also sometimes referred to as "Direct Debit" or "EFT" (Electronic Funds Transfer) or ACH Debit.

After a homeowner completes and sends in the following form, you will be enrolled in the automatic withdrawal program. 
Download Automatic Withdrawal form

Payments will be deducted from your bank account (can be checking or savings) by the 5th of the month.


EPM will deduct each month your regular monthly Association fees.  The Automatic Withdrawal will not automatically debit late fees, fines, or other non-recurring payments.  Those must be made separately.  Please see the "By Mail / Coupon Book" section for the lock box mailing address for these non-standard payments.  However, Dryer Duct Cleaning fee, done on even years, and Chimney Inspection fees (every year if you have a chimney/fireplace) will automatically be deducted unless you chose to "Opt-Out".

In the event there is insufficient funds in your account twice in one calendar year, you will be removed from the automatic withdrawal program and will need to make payments another way. There is a $15 Non-sufficient Fee (NSF) if your payment is returned if there is insufficient funds in your bank account.


EPM will automatically adjust the monthly fees each calendar year to reflect the new monthly fee amount.  You do not need to take any action on your part.

You do not need to renew your participation in the Automatic Withdrawal program each year.  You will stay on it until you instruct EPM to stop deducting the fees.  if you need to stop the automatic withdrawals for any reason including selling your unit, please send your request in writing to Management@RavensCrestEast.com 

Selling Your Unit and Stopping Automatic Withdrawal
It is important to note that you must contact EPM to stop the fees when you sell your unit, as EPM is not always informed promptly during your closing process that your unit actually closed on a specific day.  While you might request a pay-off amount from EPM, they do not know if you actually closed on your unit that day.  Contact EPM immediately after closing to stop the automatic withdrawal.
Online Bill Pay through your Bank
Minimize
Homeowners may make payments using their own bank's online bill pay feature.

It is very important that you include your account number in your comments or memo section so that is transmitted with your payment.  Otherwise the payments must be reviewed manually to determine who made the payment.  This may add a delay to the crediting of your payment and may result in a late fee.

Your bank can send the payment to: P.O. Box 64148, Phoenix, AZ 85082-4148

Please be sure to adjust your recurring payment in late December to the new monthly fee amount in order to avoid a late fee on the difference between last year's fee and the new year's fee.  You will receive a mailing in late December each year with the new monthly fee amount.

If you are paying the Renovation Project Special Assessment Loan, please be sure to add that to the regular monthly fees.

If you are unsure what you should be paying each month, please contact the onsite Management office at (609) 275-7353.
