You said the Army is paying for his housing, but they don't pay for his fines, etc., correct? So take the step others have said they're "afraid" to (I don't know why), send him to collections. If he's accrued a significant amount of money he owes to the house that he's just refusing to pay (because he probably knows it's never REALLY collected), then take it to that level. Write up a formal letter, letting him know the money he owes is due by x date (or a payment plan agreed to, whatever) or his delinquent account will be turned over to xxx collection agency to make sure the chapter receives the funds it's owed. Remind him in the letter that the chapter would prefer not to take that step and you're sure he would prefer his credit rating not get dinged, so you hope he's able to meet his obligations responsibly in the given time period. But if he continues to disregard his responsibility, the chapter has no choice but to pursue collections. The letter alone might at least light a fire under his arse. Good luck.
