I have a questions, when we file a lien. Does the level set system send it to the court?, or What will be the next step to file it in the court, and then to file a Law suit?
You have 90 days after recording the lien to file a lien foreclosure action. I don't believe the Levelset system will send it to the court. You will also need to record a lis pendens in connection with your lien foreclosure lawsuit. If you have the ability to serve a bonded stop payment notice, that could give you some additional remedies. You probably have rights under the terms of your subcontract to pursue in the same lawsuit. And if the contractor is lying to you, explore whether you have a valid fraud claim. That would require you to show that you did something in reliance upon the contractor's fraudulent statements or false promises.
