We have a collection agency we work with but they have decided to withhold monies due to having a dispute with us regarding a separate client we have with them. We want to know if it is legal if they can hold monies from our clients because of an issue we are having on seperate clients.
Also if we could have an update on the lien we filed for our client, Bonnie....Read More
Does “final payment” mean the same as “payment in full” on a check? If so, how do I go about getting a mechanical lien removed from my property?...Read More
Oregon state requires a labor only breakout total, but we also use subs in our work. How does this get handled when there is only one field for the labor only total and no other line items to account for subs. Considering we don't always know what part of their work is labor vs. materials, we just want to be sure we are as accurate as possible when sending liens....Read More
I had to fire the Contractor for several reasons. First, He did not fulfill the contract by the date signed by both of us. Second, he extended the work into 9 month's when it was supposed to be done in 3 months. I was paying Him according to work being done. Third, I wound up firing Him for not getting the work completed. By Code Enforcement pictures, all of the work He and his few workers did was done incorrectly and hazardously. One month after I fired Him He put a Mechanics Lien on the House. He took me to Court, now, a year later to get the Mechanics Lien Extended. He won. Now there is Threat in the air not knowing what He is going to do next. Thank you for any or all Help you can give me, sincerely and panicking Sharon M.L....Read More

Notification of home owners association?
Do I simply send a copy of the lien to the registered agent/attorney?
Do I assign the lien to the association as well as the property owner?
There are no subcontractors involved....Read More
We are a subcontractor, that hired a subcontractor to work on three different projects. We found out after the fact that the Sub had contracted the work to another party, who then hired the end worker. We have paid 90% of our contract to our sub, but now after the work has been completed, we found out that the end worker was not paid a penny. Now that worker can not reach anyone other than us, and is now threatening to lien the project. We have fulfilled our obligation to our subcontractor (before he disappeared), but the worker is now shaking us down with threats of liens. We don't want to let a lien happen which would hurt our reputation with our customers.
1. What can we do to track down the subcontractor that we paid, and make him pay the worker that he hired?
2. We still owe our sub roughly 10%, but we obviously don't want to pay it to him until we have confirmation that he's paid his worker. If we pay that 10% directly to the worker, what can we do to guarantee that he doesn't lien the store to get the remaining balance of what he's owed?...Read More

Hi,
I am an automation specialist that spent a majority of the last year and a half working on a government construction project for my employer. Some of my work was done remotely while logged into the customers system and much of it was done on site. I am not a member of a labor union. Throughout the project our union technicians received prevailing wages while working on the project while I did not. I have been informed by a former co-worker that worked on the project with me that they are in violation of prevailing wage laws and I should have received a prevailing wage for much of the work performed if not all.
I want to know if I should be pursuing an action to have my wages rectified for the project in question....Read More
Hi,
I'm owed payment for services as a contract Project Manager on 2 jobs; 1 in Watertown, and one in Brookline. The owner of the GC I was contracted by created an impossible scenario to deliver the job on-time, or in the clients expectations, so I quit. The GC (my boss) claims he doesn't owe me the payment for the 2 weeks. Is it possible for me to lien the jobs? The C of O's haven't been approved yet....Read More
Hi Levelset Experts,
I have a mechanics lien already filed from September 2019 for work I did in May 2019 but did not get paid for. My understanding is that I have to get an Abstract of Judgement from the Courthouse I obtained the lien from, and then do I need to file a notice of intent to force sale to satisfy my lien, or do I need to send a notice of default first...
Not sure of the process for a lien... My lien is for almost $10,000.00 US...

We were surprised by final invoice from contractor which included a markup on subs. He told us the Certificate of Completion had to be revised to include the total cost of the project. The 20% markup was not stated in the original contract. Is this legitimate?
