I'm afraid a parking space in a multi-unit development (MUD) is generally not private property - you simply have a licence from the management company (in respect of which you are a member) to use the space.

Arrears of owner management company (OMC) fees is a huge issue in MUDs across the country and those that are meeting their fees simply don't want to continue subsidising those who are not. Hence the aggressive approach.
 
The fact that you are on a payment plan is key. Most management companies treat people on payment plans as "compliant". That should be your argument.

Only if the current period is being paid in full and iff the payment plan relates to prior periods.
The sooner they go the way in Spain and other countries where arrears can be recouped from the forced sale of the units will this issue be addressed.

No. I've been involved with a few management companies, and we've always taken the view that a payment plan deals with both current fees and arrears. For example, it's a €1,000 a year and someone owes €3,000 already. We've always been happy with (say) €200 a month for circa 2.5 years to get them back on an even keel.

But break the payment plan, and the rulebook gets thrown at them.
