Paulina Rubio is facing foreclosure on her home in Miami, Florida

Posted by Jillian Postal | Jan 21, 2014 | 0 Comments

Paulina Rubio is facing foreclosure on her home in Miami, Florida.

The ‘X Factor' USA judge's neighbors accused her of failing to pay the required maintenance fees on condo for the past 18 months and the homeowners association has filed a foreclosure action against her.

The building manager Didi Ashe told GossipExtra: “We're using all collection tools at our disposal. But I cannot comment further as the matter is in litigation.”

The Latin star allegedly owes $30,000 in fees, interest and penalties for her 18th floor property.

Court records, obtained by gossip website RadarOnline.com, show the homeowners association filed a lien against the 42-year-old star in April but she didn't acknowledge it.

Florida's foreclosure courts have 299,055 cases pending as of the end of August, the first time in five years that fewer than 300,000 cases were backlogged.

According to a new report from the Office of the State Courts Administrator, judges cleared 41,547 cases statewide in July and August, including 2,793 in Palm Beach County.

Palm Beach's backlog now stands at 25,697, down 22 percent from July 1, 2012.

Florida's courts have been hustling to clear foreclosures from their dockets since getting an infusion of money from the legislature to hire additional senior judges and case managers to process files.

But it may not be how fast the courts are moving as much as the drastic drop in new filings from lenders since the state's new foreclosure law went into effect July 1.
