Can the HOA sue you for unpaid violation fees and get a judgement?

We filed a chapterh 7 and did not keep the house and is in foreclosure. We vacated the home. We have had someone mow the yard but HOA wants the landscapes beds maintained as they are overgrown. We have someone coming to trim the weeds in the beds very soon but I am sure it will not be to their standards.

Possibly the HOA where you have a unit could sue you for damages stemming from claims occuring after you filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection and after you have a discharge. If that happens and you do not answer the compaint, very well you could end up with a default judgment against you in the matter you have written about.
