We sent the Notice of Intent to File on 10/21/22. Per the USPS tracking, it's been sitting in Denver and not delivered. Can we file the Mechanic's Lien if she has not received the Notice to File? She refused to give us her email address and flat out said she wasn't going to pay. I am worried that she will be selling soon, I know the home is currently for sale and I heard they have a contract that is pending....Read More

Contractor gave a start/end date and stated that every day he goes beyond end date, he would owe us $100. He had only completed three of the ten tasks and then abandoned the project. He is now threatening to put a lien on our property for services (completed and not) for the full contracted price. What is our recourse? It seems that anyone can put a lien on anyone's property. Kim...Read More

I hired a contractor to build a garage on my property. I signed a contract with the owner, detailing the construcion. A few month before the start of construction, the owner passed away. For a time, the son and daughter continued the business. The wife decided to close the business, started spending the assets on personal interests. Before the completion of my garage, I was informed that they would no longer work on it. I received a $4000 invoice from a supplier with the contractors billing address and my address as the shipping address. I have no financial relationship with the supplier. I had paid all but $1000 of a $40,000 project. As it is, the garage is unfinished, no inspection, no door, no concrete floor. All of which had been in the contract with the contractor. ...Read More
