the question: Can homeowners association officers decide to raise the road maintenance fees without the consent of the homeowner or am I protected by the amount set when I purchased the property?
the answer: The power of a Homeowners Association (HOA) is set by the provisions of the by-laws for the HOA. So each case would have to be dealt with on and individual basis, but typically the actions of the officers of an HOA are controlled by the by-laws and normally the by-laws require a meeting and a vote of the homeowners to raise fees or to take other actions. You could be out voted by the other owners and then the fees could be raised through the process defined in the HOA by-laws.

Avoid scams & surprises in online shopping (StatePoint) Consumers who plan to skip the crowds by shopping online this holiday must take steps to protect their money and their personal information, NC Attorney General Roy Cooper urged. "Buying gifts online may help you avoid long lines and crowds, but with convenience comes some risks," Cooper warned. "Use caution when you shop online to save money and prevent stress
Read the return policy carefully. Merchants aren’t required by law to accept returns. Some online retailers won’t let you return items to their local stores, while others charge a restocking fee or won’t let you return opened items. Many online retailers require you to pay for shipping if you need to make a return or exchange. Know how to contact the company if problems
chase. These can wind up signing you up for discount clubs, travel memberships or other services you don’t really want, with fees appearing later on your credit card or bank statement. The NC Attorney General's office recently won a settlement against one company that had used these pop ups to trick customers. Ask when your order will arrive. Internet and catalog shoppers are protected by the Federal Mail Order Rule. By law, a company is required to ship your order within the time stated. If you aren't given a delivery date, the company has 30 days once your order is received. If the item doesn't ship on time, the seller must let you know and allow you to cancel for a full refund. Print out and save records of all online orders. Keep the product description, price, online receipt, order number and customer service number. Save any emails the company sends you confirming your purchase or updating you on the status of an order. Review your credit card statements. Some consumers have complained about unauthorized charges billed to their account after they shop online. Contact your credit card company immediately to report any charges you didn't authorize, and request a refund and a new card.
during this busy season." Cooper offered the following tips to help holiday shoppers protect themselves from cyber-criminals and bad business deals. Shop sites you know and trust. If an online merchant is new to you, research it with the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division and your local Better Business Bureau. You can also check online reviews to spot potential problems. Watch out for copycat websites that try to trick you by looking like a legitimate company’s site. Do your own price comparison. Just because a website claims to beat prices at competitor sites or brick-and-mortar retailers doesn’t mean it’s true. To get the best deals, compare prices online and off. Also, beware of counterfeit or knock off products that may be poor quality.
arise. Get the company’s street address and telephone number and verify them before you place an order. Remember to be especially careful when shopping overseas sites, since no U.S. or state agency has legal authority over business deals with companies in other countries. Check site security before you enter any payment information. Look for a lock icon on the website and a web address that starts with "https". Consider paying by credit card. If your order doesn’t arrive or isn’t what you expected, you can dispute it with your credit card company. Federal law also limits your liability to $50 if your credit card number gets stolen. Get a credit card with a low limit that you use only for online shopping. Be wary of pop ups at the end of an online purchase that offer you money off your next pur-
Protect your identity. Guard your Social Security, driver’s license and bank account numbers when you shop online. Only share financial information via secure sites, never by email. Don’t respond to unsolicited emails or telemarketing calls that ask for your personal information. "Whether you’re shopping online or at the mall, be careful," Cooper said. "You keep your wallet in a safe place when you go shopping and it's just as important to guard your money and your personal information when you shop online." To check out a company with the Attorney General's Office or file a consumer complaint, call 1-8775-NO-SCAM toll-free within North Carolina. Consumers can also file complaints online and get more holiday shopping tips at www.ncdoj.gov.

“Many of our local brokers do not realize that Real Estate Weekly was started by Realtors for the benefit of Realtors so that we could have our own publication to turn to for our advertising needs. Because of Real Estate Weekly, we have been able to brand ourselves with local buyers and sellers and, at the same time, get our listings in front of the buying public with beautiful color photos of the homes we have for sale. In addition, Real Estate Weekly helps us hit all the popular websites with our listings to make sure buyers across the country see our listings as well. We feel every advertising dollar in the REW is well spent.” — Pat and Donna Asheville's Dream Team Keller Williams Professionals

Many people are loathe to forge connections with strangers and help others, due to introversion, fear, or concerns that what they have to offer might not be enough. However, Healy points out that a small change in attitude can help spur you to take meaningful action. She offers some quick tips for surmounting your hurdles and giving back:’
In fact, in a recent study conducted by Claremont Graduate University, people who felt empathy for a stranger experienced a release of the hormone oxytocin, which is associated with lower blood pressure, lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels, reduced pain and improved psychological well-being.’
• Be you. Harness your talents, abilities and the resources already at your disposal to give back or raise awareness. When it comes to helping others, there’s no cookie-cutter way to do it.’
“Reaching out to a stranger benefits both people. It’s a win-win,” says Erin Healy, author of the new novel “Stranger Things,” which she was inspired to write in order to raise awareness of sex trafficking and human slavery.’
“Teach a class, buy supplies, be an advocate -it’s all about pinpointing what you can do to shine a light on an issue and help improve it, rather than getting mired in what you can’t accomplish,” says Healy. “At present, I can’t travel to India to infiltrate a brothel and pull girls out. I can’t be a live-in ‘mom’ at an after-
care home. But I can write a book. I can help to raise awareness.”’ • Shop Smart. With a little research you can better ensure your consumer dollars are not
Every day presents opportunities, big and small, to show kindness to strangers when you take the time to notice them supporting companies that don’t share your values. Consider shopping from companies that donate a portion of their proceeds to non-profit organizations and foundations that support causes about which you are passionate.’ • Think local. “When I started researching ‘Stranger Things’ I was surprised to learn how many small organizations in my own city are already making efforts to aid victims of human trafficking,” Healy says. “Let your heart lead you to a local cause. You can empower yourself by helping those already doing the work.”’ • Think random. You may not have the time to make a long-term volunteering commitment, but every day presents opportunities, big and small, to show kindness to strangers when you take the time to notice them. ‘ • Connect with a stranger. By looking outward you gain perspective on your own troubles and realize that you have more to offer than you may have thought. Be intentional, and take time to notice those around you. As you get to know them, you’ll find yourself moved to help.’ More information about Healy and her new novel, “Stranger Things,” can be found at www.ErinHealy.com.
