They call me and have me repair their auto shop equipment I also have estimates that were given and ok'd to go forward and order parts and they were never altered afterwards the prices given are the prices they were charged. Also the terms are stated due upon receipt these receipts were signed. I also have emails stating payments are past due and I also have text messages these invoices would be paid. The customer did pay for jobs on one location that his son runs but none of the other shops I did work at were paid. Its amazing this person is in business let alone about 20 locations. I cant believe he has any servicer willing to do work for him.

I agreed to work on a small residential project under a friend of mine. Being that he is a friend and I trusted him we didnt draw up a contract for the scope of work; I told him I would work when he needed me until project completion at $20 an hour. He agreed and I got to work. Now the project is completed and he has been paid in full as of last week by the property owners. I have only received $100 in payment as he said it was all he had. After 3 days of pressing him he finally said he needed a more detailed invoice so I sent it over. He claimed it still wasn't detailed enough in addition to wanting a more detailed copy of a materials receipt for the project that he was present at time of purchase. I went to home Depot and asked them for a copy of the detailed materials receipt and added as many details as possible to the original invoice for the days and hours worked and sent that on over. I have gotten no response from him after sending over the requested, more detailed invoice. I have been subcontracting under him believing he was completely honest and licensed; however, I have sinced discovered that he is not licensed, bonded or insured and has been practicing horticulture without any permit of the Alabama State department of Agriculture as well as contracting without a license for over a year now. In addition, since he did not ask for a W-9 I'm assuming he has not been reporting his earnings to the IRS either. At this point I am wanting to inquire an experts help to see what action(s) I can take against his unfulfilled promise to pay-when-paid and against his illegal practices not only for myself but for the other members of our community and the honest, hard-working legitimate landscaping professionals who are losing job opportunities to an illegitimate unlicensed contractor undercutting their pricing. I would like to note that I am recognized by the state of Alabama as a legitimate business as an LLC offering handyman services.
Thank you in advance for any help in this matter....Read More
We were hired as subcontractors by a general contractor to complete work on a home. The owner of home signed a contract with us for the work amount of $11,600 an amount that was already agreed upon between him and the gc that subcontracted us.. now the project is nearly complete the owner fired us two days prior to completion ( knowing we don't possess a GC license) and is refusing to pay. The general contractor that hired us won't back us and is telling us there was never actually a contract for that amount of 11,600 between the two parties. Without a GC license in VA I'm reading everywhere that we have no protections or recourse now that payment is not being made. ...Read More

I am a homeowner who employed a contractor to pour concrete for an addition to my home. He filed for the permit and made all of the arrangements for the concrete to be delivered and I paid him in full for labor and concrete. Fast forward almost a year later, I get a notice from the Oklahoma County Clerk's office advising me that there has been a lien placed on my home by the concrete company my contractor contracted to supply the concrete. I have had no prior dealings with this supplier at all. But because my contractor stiffed them on payment they are coming after me. I just read on your site that they are require to notify me prior to filing the lien request with the Oklahoma County Clerk's office and that did not happen. My home is my primary residence and that should meet the requirement for sending a notification. What do I do now to request that this lien be removed?...Read More
