<prompt> Human: So we moved in to our house back in july 2015. In oue HUD settlement HOA fee for 2015 was paid, 191.78. Now they changed the month the fee is due, Dec to Dec. One month difference from the original Jan to Jan. My wife is telling me that we should be credited for the month of Dec. My understanding of the membership fee is that we pay 400 flat fee for the next year. I dont understand her point of view as the fee being pro-rated. Just would like more of an explaination. Thank you in advance.  <response>: You had originally paid for your HOA fees from July 2015 to January 2016.They are now saying you owe them December 2015 through December 2016.So you would be owed what you paid for December 2015, since you already paid for it.
