Do I need to pay HOA the fee if I was not aware or told there was one before I purchased or even in any of the closing is it stated there was one

I moved in 9/28/10 few days after a slip of paper taped to door I owed $25 for HOA fee, next day members came I asked what the $25 was for keep empty lots clean & plow the roads in sub division my driveway is set back from road don't plow mine & 1 next to me asked why do I have to pay. I was not informed or in closing only that I owned the driveway & required to fix damages. I have not seen roads plowed or lots cleaned in the 5 years. I have only been harassed, had my things broken, stolen, trespassed, mud bombs thrown and from the members kids. I told them show me where I signed or informed I would pay. Well they stopped so I thought it was over I received a letter that they put a lien on my home 2/15 $415. I had a lawyer they was to call & never did. I received default a day ago & that's all I have been sent. I have health issues & the stress it has caused me not good they have blocked me in so wrong. I am a quiet person & stay in. They are breaking the rules of the HOA please help
