What are my rights

If you are not getting paid, let a certified commercial collection agency licensed and bonded to collect in WA attempt to collect the debt on a contingency bases so you are not throwing any good money after a bad debt. If for any reason they are not successful in collecting it won't cost you anything for the effort. Feel free to call or srauch@rauchmilliken.com Best regards getting paid, Steve

Information

Yes, your lack of being a registered contractor with Washington L&I will almost surely cause you to lose any suit to remove the contractor’s lien. Registration is, almost universally in Washington, a pre-requisite to any right to file a contractor’s lien against a property.

There are other avenues, and ways to pursue your claim. Also, depending on whether you might be able to claim sub-contractor status, you may have labor lien rights.
