Financial Status at AGM

My husband turned up to our stratas AGM last week to be told he was unfinancial and unable to vote. When I checked the next day, I was told that as our last payment was a few weeks late we had an interest charge of $5.00 outstanding that was not due for payment until the next quarter.

Was this correct? Should I have phoned and checked out account balance prior to the AGM and settled our account? As far as I can tell, this amount was outstanding but not in arrears and should not have affected my financial status and voting rights.

Thanks
