How do i get off a lien?

WashingtonMechanics Lien

I just received a lien against my property for services provided by my landscaping company - they built a patio for me in mid-September. I paid my landscaper in full when the work was performed. The claimant is the pavingstone provider. The landscaper is the “person indebted”. In addition, the date “contributions became due” was three months before the work was even performed at my house. Can I be held legally liable for this if my landscaper did not pay the pavingstone company, even though I paid in full? What is my recourse here?

Yes, you might be held liable for a subcontractor's bill if the contractor failed to pay them. I would immediately contact the contractor and find out why the sub was not paid and turn the billing over to them. There is also the chance that the subcontractor did not timely file the lien and it would be invalid. . If the contractor won't resolve the situation, then speak with an attorney.
