Someone from our homeowners association (a legal corp) came to our door in the middle of a party and demanded payment of a 2 mo old past due bill. I said I needed to look at it when I had a moment, to verify. However he said he would just stand there until I gave him a check. Being in the middle of having company I had no choice but to pay this stranger and get on with the party.

Do they have the right - sure, but do you have the right to tell them to get off your property - absolutely!
If I had a house full of guests I would have said I will look at this and compare it to my records when my guests leave and then asked him to leave. If he wouldn't leave I'd have called the cops- that simple.

Can someone collect a debt in person at your home? - Yes, during reasonable hours. You however had the choice to pay then or tell him to leave. If you could not verify the identity of the person you should NOT have given him a check.
