Hello, I'm a door retailer located in Austin, TX. I sell my doors nationwide. I sold custom made doors to a customer in NJ. The customer disputed the credit card charges on Dec. 15 and refused to return the product. The order was shipped to the customer in Oct. 2018. What are my options and how should I go about it. Thank you!!...Read More

We are a shop that designs/manufactures kiosks and retail store fixtures. We are located in Colorado. We built, shipped and installed our customer's kiosk in a mall in NJ in late April. Our customer owes an outstanding balance of $17.5k, to be paid in monthly agreed-upon installments. He is refusing to pay according to our contract. He was to begin making his payments starting June 1st. We installed his kiosk in late April, but in late May we supplied him with an additional sign for his kiosk. That falls within the 90 day window allowed by NJ law, if I am not mistaken. We are seeking to put a lien against the mall. I was advised to present this scenario to you by the support team, as it is somewhat confusing. You may call me anytime at 720-431-1416 or email me if you need additional information. Thank you....Read More

In New Jersey, we have completed work obtaining approvals for site plan development of multiple plots located on one block in Newark, New jersey. The client has suddenly refused to pay fees when billed, and yet we have not yet submitted final stamped signed and sealed drawings for the already-approved site plan submission. Approval was obtained at a town planning meeting with unanimous vote of approval. The property address in question was 597-601, however this address represented multiple lots that the developer is intending to combine. Do we need to submit multiple liens on multiple plots? or is the address alone or one lot sufficient?...Read More

New JerseyLien DeadlinesMechanics LienPreliminary Notice
I just followed the instructions on the webiste. The letter from the attorney reads: The lien was improperly filed against the Landlord's real property. Pursuant to NJSA 2A:44a-3, if a tenant contracts for improvements on the premises then the lien can only attach to the leasehold interest of the tenant unless once of the exceptions is satisfied. I can send a copy of the letter if you'd like....Read More

We installed an elevator for the property and have not been paid the remaining 50% balance. Homeowner paid the general contractor, but GC did not pay us. Homeowner thinks they should not pay twice, but that should be between them and their GC. We should be allowed to file the lien until paid....Read More
