Illegal Mechanic's Lien?

IndianaMechanics Lien

On January 1, 2021 a contractor came to our home and replaced our furnace for a cost of around $6000. We have been making payments and about $2100 is due. HOWEVER, the company filed a Mechanic's Lien on June 18th for the remainder even though we have been making payments. We have no contract for a timeframe within which to pay in full and I have read Indiana State Code 32-23-3 which states that "the filing of a notice to hold a mechanic's lien in Indiana must be completed within 60 days after the day on which the lien claimant LAST PERFORMED LABOR OR MATERIALS at the home." I would like to contest/remove this lien. What are my options?

This is an improper lien if the last day they did work was in January. You have claims for slander of title. Give my office a call to assist you in getting damages plus attorney's fees! 260-782-1712. www.podlaskilegal.com Nick Podlaski
