I did work on this project and me and few people who worked there didn’t get paid. We found out that the owner is losing to the property to taxes in two weeks and I was wondering how I would get paid. Does the town who will own the property in two weeks pay me when the sell it or does the lien just transfer it the new owner who would buy the property from the town. ...Read More

We had a bad contractor fired for very poor workmanship and he put a lein on my clients home for $11,000. So we paid off the lein to the county clerk and the subcontractor had one year to bring a law suit. The sub contractor never sued since he had no mean of winning. How do we get our 11,000 from the town clerk....Read More

I'm being told a story and I can't understand how she thinks she can save the house. If I'm being told the truth, she claims she has 2 foreclosures. One is from her company they used their house as collateral. She says they called in loan. She also claims she is in foreclosure on her personal mortgage. From my understanding she owes 55 thousands on the mortgage and the business loan was a half a million. She is in forbearance. She says she's is getting it until March wich my understanding is it ends December all home covid programs end. We live in long Island NY. So how is this house savable and also it will be left to her only child . Won't her get the lien debt if the house is willed to him? Please help me know the truth as it affects my life in unimaginable ways. Thank you....Read More

Hello I worked on a construction project and the final payment was never remitted. it is 25 thousand and now over 40K with interest charges. Customer owner/was also the GC in the building -I provided door access and thermal monitors. The system has been running since 2018, when I went back to receive my final payment from finalizing the "punch list". I placed written final demand and The General attorney for the firm agreed I will be paid after the ;ist. When I arrived on site, there was a new General attorney and no one to pay me. The new Attorney made me go over all details again, said there was yet another punch list, agreed to my payment and then left. Why> Both attorneys were also Never Paid. The project was a NY State Building Brooklyn Army Terminal, and the GC was also the owner, of this compounding pharmacy. ...Read More

Dear Levelset Advisor: I have utilized your "notice of intent to lien" letter recently for a delinquent in payment client. I did not do any type of construction work at this client's home. What I do is appraise personal property to be sold, plus organize and conduct estate sales that are situated in clients' homes. This particular client chose to cancel her estate sale at the very last minute. My staff and I had already staged her home for the estate sale, displayed all of the household items that were being sold, researched resale market values and priced household merchandise, advertised the estate sale in several media venues, identified the fine jewelry to be sold and arranged for diamond rings to be appraised. The contractual agreement indicates that if the client cancels the sale, he/she are responsible to pay for services conducted and the amount is indicated in the contract. The client engaged my company on July 3, 2019 and then canceled the estate sale on July 30, 2019. I was notified by her son to send him the invoice, which I sent shortly thereafter. No payment was received. After a couple of weeks, I called and left a message, there was no response. Two weeks ago I sent another invoice with a friendly letter, again no response. I see that your services are geared to construction companies. Would my company fit in somehow or not? Thank you for your kind assistance. Sincerely,Cynthia Illicete-BurnsFull Circle Estate & Tag Sale Services LLC ...Read More

We are a small stair company that works as a subcontractor on very large jobs in NYC. We do our best to submit the pencil reqs accurately and on time but if there is an issue or disagreement about payment it gets bounced out and cannot be re-submitted until the following month. It takes a lot of time and effort to constantly chase money from these contractors. When it does get through we usually don't see the money for at least 45 days, sometimes longer. Just looking for the best way to handle this....Read More
