Valid Pa contract for 15% is in place. The insured does not want to pay us. We took them from 0 to 70K now you know the routine, the 3-party checks are in and they want to negotiate the contract.
IllinoisI have a question regarding the Prime's delay in submitting a subcontractor's invoices to a vendor for payment. My business provided work for a Prime contractor. They are now rejecting invoices that are over 1 year old, even though we submitted these invoices in a timely fashion. Is there any requirement for a Prime to submit all invoices for service provided within a certain time frame? Or can a Prime hold onto a subcontractor's invoices, without submitting them to the state, for an indefinite period of time? TIA
IllinoisI am a subcontractor, hired by a GC to install a bluestone patio on a front porch. Product was installed November 2021 and billed at that time. The home owners were unhappy with some of the stones installed so the stone vendor was contacted and provided additional stones for replacement, this was completed this Spring 2022. A partial payment of $4k was made on a $12,500 contract amount. As of August 2022 I sent a letter of intent to lien the property after multiple calls to the GC about collection. After doing so, I was told by the GC the home owners have sold the house and payment hasn't been made. Do I continue to move forward with the lien if the home owners have moved or are there other ways to legally collect the amount I am due? I am told by the GC he will cover an additional $3500, but that would leave a $4k balance.
IllinoisI had a new roof and gutters put on my house. It was an insurance claim with State Farm. I signed a contract with Zone construction to do the work. Zone then subcontracted the work and they got it done. Zone was then paid in full (by State Farm). Apparently Zone then failed to pay his subs and now they are coming after me for money.
IllinoisI'm the new Service Manager at an Auto Repair shop. We have balances that range from $200-$3100, some of the unpaid invoices are within 3-9 months of being 2 years since paid on or at all
IllinoisDoes a supplier to a supplier have lien or bond rights in Illinois? We are a subcontractor and have a material supplier that is fabricating and delivering material to a jobsite. Clearly, they have rights. However, does THEIR supplier (in this case a steel mill) have lien rights as well? If so, what are the conditions.... Thanks
IllinoisHello! We are materials supplier, and we are providing windows to the project. We signed 1 agreement, but this agreement is to provide windows for 2 building. Building A is near by building B, but they have different addresses, owner is the same. Should we send notice of intent to Lien and Lien should be filled separately for each building address? We have and other situation where we provide windows for new construction of few buildings and separate addresses are not determined yet. In this case should we use 1 address we have from our agreement? thank you!
IllinoisThis is an older job that the customer still hasn't paid us. We are the subcontractor. We just started the lien process and issued the notice to lien.
What additional steps can we take to get paid?
thank you
IllinoisI am a subcontractor and I am trying to get paid for a residential job that was done in 2019. The owner was my fathers friend but he passed in 2020. My brother and I now run the concrete company and because my father is no longer here, the home owner believes she has the right to avoid payment. Due to their friendship, there was no formal invoice sent to the owner initially, just word of mouth. Like previously mentioned, since my father passed, she no longer wants to pay. We sent her an invoice for the job back in December and again in February through email and also had it sent via mail. Tried messaging and calling as well but she has blocked us and now my brother and I need guidance. Is there anything we can do?
IllinoisIf I do work on a house and have not been paid how long do I have to file a lien against the homeowner before it comes invalid ?
IllinoisI'm a general contractor. In the midst of the job, the owners quit paying me, so I had to stop working. They promised to pay me on the next pay out from their hard money Lender ( this was a fix and flip ), but continued to give me excuses and then finally said they were not going to pay me. I intern came to levelset and they put the lien on the property for me. Now the owners of the property are trying to sell the property and I'm worried that they will be able to sell it without compensating me for what they told me. What should I do.
IllinoisWe completed an emergency garage repair for a customer. The customer was paid by his insurance and never paid our company for the repair work we rendered.
IllinoisWe performed a mitigation project in a home in July 2021. I filed a lien on a property in October 2021. However the property was sold a few days after we completed the project. Is my lien valid or do I have to pursue other legal recourses such as going to small claim's court or press charges for theft of services. Thanks.
IllinoisI'm a subcontractor, provided labor (installation of mechanical solar) in IL, last day on site 12.3.21. Receivable 50 days past due (80 days from invoice). Site owned by School District, but work contracted with GC. Can a mechanic's lien be used? We provided labor and have open Receivables on 2 projects/sites with the same customer. Will 2 liens be required?
IllinoisDoes the lien expire or is it a one time fee? Also can those lien fees be added to what they owe us?
