We are a supplier who provided material to a customer who was doing a job for a City in Tennessee. However, we never received payment from our customer because the owner of the job took our customer off the job at some point, but the job is still not finished and the owner cannot give us any detail on when the job will be finished. We filed on the bond through Levelset in August. When we finally got someone from the City to speak with us about the bond information we immediately filed claim with the bond company. However, we got a notification from Levelset this week saying that our deadline for filing suit to enforce the bond claim is due 12/3/21, which is tomorrow. Obviously the bond will not have paid out by tomorrow, and in the case that it doesn't pay out, can we not file suit against the customer and/or City in Tennessee for the amount due to us?...Read More
Our company received a call on a Friday evening about a underground water service leak. We gave a verbal quote, they received approval, they called with the approval, the owner and another employee went right over to begin work on the job. It was a major leak and deep underground. They worked both Friday eve and Saturday. The property management company that the work was done for contacted us via their attorney saying the price was too high. We responded with all of the above info in detail as to why the cost was what it was. Never heard from them again.
Do we need to do a preliminary notice? And if so, when can we file the actual lien? Work was done on September 17th, 2021. Thank you so much! Susan...Read More

I was hired as a subcontractor to do work on abunch of lots for a subdivision being built.
I was hired by a guy that was hired directly by the Developing company.
After months and months of promises and begging to be patient, and that they will pay as soon as the check comes in “This week” they say and fighting to get paid, the Contractor guy that hired me continues to say that he still hasn’t gotten paid by the developer, in return means he can’t pay me. It just continues on & on & on!
Dating all the way back to early June/21 until Aug/21.
(It Was from February, but they caught up Feb, March, April and May in the month of July, but I stopped working for them starting in September cause my owed invoice balance kept snowballing up to $30k, so I have not received any payment for any work done from June/21 to Aug/21.
So Awhile back I had told him to put a lein on the subdivision to try and get them to act right, he states that the developer made him sign some papers to legalize that he wouldn’t be able to do that and that he couldn’t do that and won’t do that.
So my question is this, how can I go AROUND my guys head that hired me and what action can I take in order to get him paid so he can pay me? Cause he says he can’t do anything and we just have to wait.
But my patience is running thin and I have bills running a business just like anyone else, and when you go a few months with no paycheck that’s continuously being promised to you, that hurts not only you, but your whole family/Home....Read More
I am working on a federal construction project and they have withheld 10% retainage and 0% is being withheld on them. Now they want to change our contract because we questioned it to: 0% retainage and $35,000 final acceptance. They are only being withheld $35,000 on them. We are working in state of GA. Can they hold the full $35,000 from us when that is all that is being held on them. We are a third tier subcontractor. ...Read More
