Was contracted by a third party insurance company to perform emergency services at a property and they instructed us to leave our equipment and to not contact the homeowner. We tried multiple times to get contact from either the primary insurance provider or the third party that sent us out but could not get any responses. So our equipment sat on site and accrued charges, which we reminded both parties about multiple times. We eventually just went and picked up our equipment but neither company is responding to the bill. We placed a lien on the customer's property but since the homeowner didn't contract us, they are now threatening legal action against us. What are our options?...Read More

I am custom building a home. The lumber allowance for framing in the contract was $115,000. I just got an email from my builder that, due to lumber costs increases, the actual cost came in $65,000 more than the allowance. The house is already framed. He did not come to me first to inquire if I wanted him to go ahead and purchase the materials given the high increase in costs. He did not give me the opportunity to make a decision as to whether or not I wanted to pause the building process until lumber was more reasonably priced. Now he is telling me I am fully responsible for the additional $65,000 which is a 56% increase over what is in the contract. Do I have any recourse here or do I have to eat this kind of added charge? It's a huge amount of money I was not expecting to spend....Read More

I'm a cleaning vendor operating in Snowshoe WV. I have an outstanding balance do on a property that I currently clean. I have just recently found out the property has been sold and is closing on the 29th of this month. I was told this by the rental management company and not the owner. This gentleman has both a past and current amount due. He has said he will pay the invoice due immediately, however, he refuses to pay. Can I file a mechanics lien against the property while he still owns it? And if yes, what happens to his closing?...Read More
