How do I contest the filing of a lien (time to file has expired)?

ColoradoMechanics Lien

I am the home owner. I have been verbally notified that the electrical subcontractor may file a lien because he has not been paid by the prime contractor. I have paid the prime contractor for the full electrical work. The work was completed last February, so the time to file has expired. How do I contest this lien filing?

Mech. liens generally have no legal effect on repair work after one year. Paying the GC/prime contr. is an affirmative defense to owing more money.
