I'm a subcontractor that was working on a job in Oklahoma. We left the job because we had multiple invoices that had not been paid. The Subcontractor that we were under said they had placed a claim on the bond of the contractor. This was back in March and our deadline to place a lien on the property is now 2 week expired. What are our options to help get paid? The last day the guys where on the job was back in February. They owe us $60k+ plus late fees. ...Read More
We are an HOA, and had a contract agreement with a pool vendor, part of our contractual agreement included the closing of the pool at the end of the swim year. Due to poor performance by the vendors, the board decided to do the "pool closing" on its own. The Vendor was notified, in writing of this intent, and is service was not required. The pool was closed on September 15, after the pool was closed the vendor, on September 2nd sent the HOA a bill for the pool closing, as well as other chemical costs. The Vendor was notified the pool closing was not performed by him and therefore the billing was disputed and would not be paid. Despite his use of his own chemical, which was in violation of the working contract the chemical costs were paid, but the remaining $900 dollars plus late fees we disputed as the service was not performed. The Vendor filed a lien on the common areas on January 3, how should we proceed? Should we file a Notice of contested lien, etc?...Read More

I have done some for a company/ individual who flip houses. I provided my estimate and he agreed to it. He wanted me to get done with my part in 3weeks.

I have a question about the lien process.
If a supplier sells to a contractor and the contractor picks up the materials and takes it to the job site (and the contractor does not pay for them) does the supplier have lien rights? Even though they did not furnish/deliver the materials directly to the job site and the contractor did a “willcall”...Read More
