A mechanic lien was filed, property sold now but I did not get paid.. How can they have removed the lien ? Is in California
If you waited more than 90 days after recording the lien, and did not file the foreclosure action, then the lien is void. If it's been less than 90 days then you can still file the foreclosure action, which I anticipate will casue lots of drama betweent the buyer and seller.
