Officially you should speak with an Accountant. In my experience however, you have nothing to worry about in CA. The HOA can file a lien on the property - not on you. This means that, if they file a lien, they can hold up the sale of the property by the bank. However, that is no longer your problem. The HOA's debt is with the property which is now owned by the bank. As far as the comany who is contacting you, maybe someone else can shed some light on how to get them to stop? I'd imagine they'll stop once the bank pays them - which they'll have to do to re-sell the property.

Mystery, I'm not an attorney and that's who you should speak with. But my opinion is no. Sounds like a collection agency if you ask me. I'm not familiar with how the foreclosure process works in CA but in NY once the bank gets the deed, they are responsible for the HOA fees from that point forward. Anything before that is typically a loss. That's not to say they won't still come after you for it. Speak to a good Real Estate Attorney familiar with the foreclosure laws in your state. Good luck.
