Collecting debt on project past lien deadline.

CaliforniaCollectionsMechanics Lien

We subcontracted for a general contractor who stopped answering calls, phones off, and we are past the lien deadline. What can we do to collect the invoice amount?

Place the account for collection with a licensed and bonded commercial collection agency that specializes in construction collections. This account can be collected on a contingency bases so you don't have to pay any money upfront to get your money and only a small percentage is charged after you have your money. If for any reason it is not collected, you won't owe anything and then you can always sue but that option is timely and costly. Feel free to contact me with any specific questions about this debt, Best regards, Steve
