I have been trying to pay my dues online for about a week.
I haven't managed yet.
I went to
http://www.cmcassociationmgmt.com/
which took me immediately to
http://www.cmcassociationmgmt.com/cmcassocmgmt/outside_home.asp
I clicked homeowner login on the "Online services" menu
This took me to
http://amrsoftware.dyndns.org:4002/
Which is interesting in and of itself.
This dyndns.org url indicates a web server running on a residential or otherwise dynamic address, like a DSL line. Can a server running on a DSL line be trusted to process financial transactions?
I don't think so.
That's odd. Personally, I wouldn't login there. No worries though, since it's asking for a username and password neither of which I have.
So that's a little interesting. A way to judge the reliability of an organization, I'd say.
I then clicked "online payment" on the "online services" menu. It asked me to put in the first 5 characters of the association name. I put in colle. Error, not found.
Now, I spoke to Veronica in accounting at CMC a week ago when I had this problem and she said it would be fixed the next day by noon. And it's been a week.
So I guess I will have to get a stamp. This is one of the very few stamps I have had to use in the last year.
I understand this is technical stuff that web guys know about. Surely not everyone knows what dynamic dns as regards webservers is, and why would they? But this stuff as it's set up on the cmc association management website is kind of hokey. For financial transactions, that is.
What do you think?
