We have been supplying material on a project for Battle Born Steel since June, Battle Born has made 3 progress payment but has failed to complete the last 2 payments due to financial hardships. We would like to try to recover some of the balance due by filing on their bond.
Good morning! Claims can be made in various ways, but generally, a claimant sends a letter to the surety identified on the contractor's license board website. When our office does so, we generally like to also include any relevant documents that support the claim to expedite the process. Most sureties are very resposnive when you do so.
In order to proceed with this you need to file a claim against their bond. However, depending on how much you are owed and what type of bond it is (i.e., NSCB bond, payment bond, etc...) you may have been required to provided notice to the bonding company within a set period of time.
