Authority reports 37 accounts turned to collections; one property scheduled for sheriff sale
Summary
Staff told the Silver Spring Township Authority it referred 37 delinquent accounts to collections, with one account scheduled for a March sheriff sale and two accounts in bankruptcy; the board noted the status and received related financial reports.
At the Jan. 21 meeting Authority Manager James Stevens reported staff had turned 37 delinquent accounts over to the collection firm JSDC (James, Smith, Dietterick & Connelly, LLP).
Stevens provided a breakdown: 53 accounts are with JSDC at Step 1, 15 at Step 2, five under forbearance agreements and one account scheduled for a March 2026 sheriff sale (3 South Road). Two accounts — 14 Longwood Drive and 431 Hogestown Road — are listed as bankruptcy cases.
The board received the financial reporting and project cost review summaries as information. No formal policy change or vote on collection strategy was recorded; the status report will inform ongoing billing and collection activity.
Why it matters: collections affect the Authority’s cash flow and may trigger additional enforcement actions for severely delinquent accounts.
