next moves...?

Michigan

Levelset helped us file a lien on a residential customer who would not get back to us on minor job completion and collection. Once the lien was filed the live-in girlfriend called and said all we want is the switchplate covers installed and we'll pay. We did that and said give me our 16k balance and I will process the release of lien. I told them that's the process - not hand you a release of lien and then you hand me the check. They have gone dark again... What are my next moves - just wait out the next 8 months and then forclose - then he writes a check to save his 1.2 Million dollar house?

You can give them a CONDITIONAL release of lien.. conditional upon payment. Other than that.. you do not have to wait to foreclose on the lien.. you can file suit to foreclose immediately. BTW you should not wait until the end of a year since unless the foreclosure suit is filed and served prior to the expiration of the 1 year SOL you will have waived your right to foreclose.
