Mechanics Lien, Non Payment Lien or Small Claims Court?

CaliforniaCollections

We are a contractor trying to collect final payment, the homeowner is nonresponsive and extremely unreasonable. The home has a pending sale with the buyers accepting the home as is. Close of escrow is in 10 days. Just trying to figure out the best course of action. Amount owned is $9500.00. Thank You

You should immediately file a lien. It is the cheapest and quickest option, and it will interrupt the title search for the house, which may stall the sale. That should prompt the owners to pay.
