I received a Notice of intent to Lein from Water mitigation company. I did research and found he is unlicensed and advertised falsely on his website that he was indeed licensed. My home insurance company paid the $3K that was due to him for his water mitigation Services. The water mitigation company sends us a bill for $17K balance which the insurance company told us they will not pay after going thru third party review. Can an unlicensed water mitigation company follow thru with a lein after a notice of Intent to lein was sent to the homeowner in Florida? How was the mitigation company able to send a Notice to intent to lien being unlicensed?
Is there accountability for a water mitigation company that doesn't need license for implying they can lien as a way to mislead induce payment?
