Our home was affected by the Tick Canyon Fires on October 24, 2019. We had a very smokey smell in our home but no actual fire damage or visible smoke damage. We called a restoration company out to let us know if we needed services. We were told that our home required immediate remediation services. The restoration company placed air scrubbers in our home for several days. They removed our insulation and sent a cleaning crew to clean the surface area of the home to eliminate the soot that was present. After this work had been completed the restoration company sent my insurance company an exorbitant bill.The bill was 5 x the amount of the insurance adjusters estimate. I was certain this was a clerical error and asked the insurance company to check into it. They did and were told by the restoration company that they had completed the job and this figure was correct. They expected the insurance company to remit payment immediately. The insurance adjuster denied the claim and told the restoration company to send in a new bill with only the work that had been completed. The restoration company continued to claim they had completed all work as stated in their bill. I was called on by the insurance company to inform them of what work had actually been completed. I let them know and they ran a new estimate saying the restoration company was only owed approximately $2000. I also sent evidence that the restoration company had damaged my home in multiple places. Someone stepped through the ceiling in my living room and also tore up the duct work in the attic.The insurance company instructed us to no longer allow these contractors in our home and to hire a new company to come and fix the remaining issues and repair what restoration company A had damaged. The new company charged $5000 to restore the damages to my home. Therefore the insurance company is stating that they do not owe restoration company A any money as they caused more damage than they are owed. The insurance company has informed me that they have turned the name of restoration company A into the insurance commision for fraudulent practices. Restoration company A is continuing to email my insurance company seeking payment. I have never received an invoice or any attempt by restoration company A attempting to receive payment. In the latest email to my insurance company restoration company A has threatened to place a lien on my home if the insurance company does not remit payment in full this week. Can you please tell me what steps restoration company A must take to place a lien. What recourse do I, as the homeowner, have since this would be a fraudulent case for a lien? Thank you very much
