I was 3 days into the job, messaged the customer to let them know I was on my way for the 4th day. Was told no for that day, told to come the following day which was Sunday and I responded I couldn’t do Sunday because I had prior commitments. Was told if I didn’t come Sunday they would hire someone else. I asked for email address to send final invoice to. Stayed in invoice 2 different payments amounts. 1 was if my tools and equipment that was onsite was returned and the other was if they were not. Customer refused to pay either.
KentuckyI have a customer that is refusing to pay and also is refusing to allow me to retrieve my tools still on site.
KentuckyI had a verbal contract to pick up a vehicle and have it towed to a different location with another private individual. Upon arrival I loaded the car and wasn't long after her ex showed up threatened me with a knife tried to unload the car off of my trailer and then proceeded to slash my tires which I called the police and filed an incident report upon leaving the ex's boyfriend returned again and then used a vehicle to ram my truck and trailer over four times I now have damage to my vehicle and my trailer can I put a lien on this car that I still have to recover monies old to make me whole again?
KentuckyWe sent a preliminary notice for a public job in Kentucky and Boone county recorded the document as a lien. Which is in turn causing the owner of the project, the City of Florence to withhold payment. According to the Boone county recorder this is how they "file" the prelim it is actually processed as a lien so our only way to "release the prelim" is to release the lien. In the future I am trying to make sure that we have coverage for our projects in Kentucky. How should a prelim be handled ? Who should it be sent to ? Does it have to be filed with the courthouse because they are not treating them as a prelim but are treating it as a lien.
Kentuckyis there an alternative to a lien in Kentucky to protect a GC for payment?
KentuckyI filled a lien. The house was sold and I was harassed by a lawyer to cancel the lien. He told me he wanted an address so that he could pay the lien. When I offered a routing number he said that I was being sued unless I lifted the lien. No bond had been paid, I'm uncertain how the property was sold. I am the defendant in a lawsuit now and have not pushed to enforce the lien. My lawyer has told me that when the lawsuit was filed against me for the lien I no longer needed to enforce the lien. My deadline is coming up soon to enforce the lien or have it dismissed per KY statute.
Do I need to enforce the lien or is my counterclaim and defending this lawsuit the same as enforcing the lien?
KentuckyI am a sub subcontractor . Our customer is asking for a final lien waiver on a project. The customer paid the contact value less a valid backcharge.

KentuckyI have power of attorney for my mother who has dementia. I rented an apartment on my mother's property to her granddaughter. The granddaughter broke the lease and moved out with 7 months left on the lease. The place was in a horrible mess that I had to clean. She is now threatening to put a lien on the property for money she and her husband say they spent on improvements. There was no contract for these supposed improvements.
Kentuckyi have a truck (1996 chevy k2500) that a customer wanted a transmission put in back in 2009. Then after it's all said and done customer didn't want to pay the bill, and left the truck, it has been sitting on storage lot since accumulating a storage bill. The bill is worth more than what the truck is worth. Is a mechanics lien the only way to get a title for this truck to sell it to recoup some of the losses?

KentuckyWe are the homeowner, who had our basement flooded. Dr Flood was called to restore the damages. They grossly overcharged for work done, and did not do some services charged. They stated job started on 3/1-3/3, yet charged equipment rental for 4 days. Please call 859-458-9415 for a complete breakdown of their invoice. For your sake, I hope your company does not associate with this company.
KentuckyI signed a 5 yr. lease 2 years into it for a home and barns to live and operate my business out of. The house had been abandoned for 6 yrs. sitting still unhabitable per judge. The house was owned by an older lady. The son was in charge of maintaining the property. This case had been going on for 6 yrs. between son and daughter over maintaining it. The judge order son to fix and maintain the property he refused. I sign a 5 yr. contract and the son still refused to obey the judges ruling. So I made repairs enclosed the house made habitable vermin free. The son and daughter prasied the work I did. The older lady passed away January 15 2021 the property automatically goes to the daughter. Now I just got an email from her attorney telling me I'm evicted got 30 days to get out. When I called the daughter all she said was she didn't authorize me to do the work. I filed a lien for my work done March 13th 2020. Any suggestions? I don't have thousands of $.
