We did a masonry job on a residential home that is owned by a company that "flips" houses. the person that hired us is the sole owner of the company that purchased the property. We are able to see through the clerks records that he has recently taken another loan for the construction of the property. We have emails and text messages from the owner saying to meet him on XXX day and he will have a check for us, but never shows up. Now the customer no longer responds to any communication. Since we filed the lien we have attempted to contact the owner and have not received an form of response at all. He has not picked up the certified mail we sent when we filed the lien and we don[t know what to do at this point. I know who is lender is, I just don't know who to ask for to speak with them about this. What do we do now?
It sound like you need to file a complaint to perfect the lien you recorded against the property. If you followed all of the correct procedures, you may be able to force the sale of the property to pay off what you are owed. It is also likely that your lien rights would have priority over the last loan, which puts you in a good position to force payment. You need to speak with an attorney and find out your options now. If you lose the right to pursue the lien, you may be left with limited means of getting paid.
