I am looking for the intent to foreclose on mechanics lien form. I would like to order it, so I can pay to have your company mail it for me. Is there an information screen where I can fill out the defendant’s and my information? Thank you, Mark Borgmann
IllinoisWe are a truss manufacturer and received an order for floor and roof trusses. All were built, but only floor trusses were delivered. Payment issues arose between general contractor and owner. Can we place a lien on the property for the amount of the floor trusses only since they were delivered? Was not sure since not all of the job was completely delivered if a lien for the partial shipment amount was acceptable?
IllinoisI am being told conflicting information. Do I use the county of where the job is for the waiver or the county where my company reside in?
IllinoisI am the owner of a Construction Company. We did a 203k loan project for a client in March of 2022. The client signed the certificate of completion, the portal showed completion of 98% and the final step was for me to provide an unconditional lien waiver before the bank could send my check. After, I signed the waiver, the completion percentage went down to 30%. The client claimed that I did not complete certain items, however no pictures have been produced. I recently spoke to the appraiser/inspector and she informed me that the items listed as not complete on her report were verbal statements taken from the client and she never seen the project. I ended up in arbitration and a year later I finally received an award for the remaining balance of the contract. This was the second arbitration due to me not counterclaiming in the first arbitration. When I sent the first ruling to the bank, they told me that although threw her case was thrown out but still could not pay me because the ruling didn't award me any money. I sent the recent arbitration ruling to the lender and after over a year, they are ordering a final inspection of the property. So my question is, what can I do? I have no idea what has been done to that property since last year. I have tried calling the bank but no one will answer. I have spent thousands on this case and am out of options. Is the bank able to do this? Is there any recourse against the bank? This client has tried to rip me off, now I am at the mercy of an inspection, even though I have an arbitration ruling. Any advice would be appreciated.

IllinoisI am a Georgia contractor working on jobs in Illinois. Companies are regularly asking for unconditional lien waivers saying we have received the check before they will release the check. Title companies always ask for this. We refuse to do so and claim it is illegal to require a company to sign a document saying we have received payment when we have not. Is there something different about IL lien laws?
IllinoisWe are a truss manufacturing company and have an order that has been built. Not all of it has been delivered, but it is all built. There are payment issues between owner and general contractor so general contractor is not taking the rest of what is built. Can we file a lein on the property?
IllinoisWe are a demolition company that worked on a project and completed our scope of work 6 months ago.

Can they hold our funds indefinitely?

IllinoisWe are at 89 days since our last furnishing (12/24), the end customer Danville Community College, has not paid and has not responded to the GC for payment. We are in a subcontractor position. Is NOI the best action at this time? I assume this community college to be a public entity?
IllinoisWe are a restoration company that provided emergency mitigation services for a customer. Their insurance denied their claim and now they do not want to pay for the services. We told them we would place a lien on the property and they stated we could not since the property was in a trust. We want to know what we can do going forward to collect our funds

IllinoisMy company is the material supplier for a project. The sub-contractor is our customer. A claim was filed for non-payment on the bond. We have since been paid in full by the prime contractor who is now asking me about clearing the claim filed on their bond. What is needed to clear the claim on the bond?
IllinoisI'm not sure if this question makes sense. I'd like to know if there is any document I can include with out contracts that advise of intent to lien if we are not paid in the time stated in the contract. Thank you in advance
