Lien was filed and served regular mail. Affirmation of service was timely served. Then, I followed with RRR service, but didn't file an affirmation on that service. And it was a few days late. Are there any defenses that can save my lien? Does the owner have to bring an action to discharge the lien? And then can I defend this? I know it sounds like a total nightmare. Thank you for helping me.

Trying to confirm the proposed contractors are actually qualified to perform the work.
In the State of Florida is the clause stating "Contractor is authorized to deduct from and offset against any and all payments or amounts otherwise due Subcontractor under this Subcontract or any other agreement between Contractor and Subcontractor an amount equal to any and all sums or obligations owed by Subcontractor to Contractor..Is this legal?
Last furnishing date should generally be the last date that the equipment is on site being used. If the equipment is just lying around on site waiting to be picked up, or if their customer is no longer being charged for the use of the equipment, that generally won't serve to push the deadline back.
My follow up question to this is, if our leased equipment set for 12months is returned earlier or later than the “end date” entered into Levelset, how will that effect anything? Should we still enter the term date listed on the contract into Levelset?

Can a GC amend an application for payment, generate a check and provide a lien waiver without the approval or consent of the subcontractor? We are in disputes over change orders and the GC is not honoring the work performed. The changed our application for payment and issued a check
I am an out-of-state supplier on a project in VA. I do not have a VA contractors license, but sold to a VA subcontractor. The project is a commercial building. If I have to file a lien, do I choose Private Lien or Suppliers and Equipment Lessors Lien? I am not clear on the difference.
