We did a job for a contractor with whom we have a relationship. Because of this, we didn't follow up with his payment. Time passed, and one year into him owning us, we still haven't received full payment. . what are some options? He now has the home for sale, we want to make sure he can't sell that house until we get paid.
Unless you filed a construction lien and unless it has been less than a year since you did so, you cannot prevent the sale of the property you worked on. You should consult with a lawyer about bringing legal action to collect the debt. If it is $8,000 or less you can pursue the matter in small claims court without a lawyer.
Thank you Raymond, that is very helpful.
