Virginia
Hello. A company is threatening to file a mechanics lien against my home. They were contracted through our home insurance provider. The home insurance representative has sent the company an email disputing their work, double charges on some items, and inaccurate measurements/charges. The company is not responding to the home insurance and is insisting that I pay the amount dictated or they will file the lien. Can they do this even though there are apparent errors/fraudulent charges in the bill they are asking me to pay?
VirginiaWe have just signed on with Levelset and have many projects near completion. With that said, a couple are behind on payment. We want to ensure protection but aren't sure if the Preliminary Notice is what we should be sending and if it's worth sending at this point of the project.
VirginiaI have Lien that is coming up on the deadline to enforce it. Can you tell me if you charge a percentage of the amount, or a basic fee, etc. to file suit for us? Thank you.
VirginiaWe are a material supplier on a federal job. What next steps should we take if the Miller Act Claim has been sent and we still have not had any correspondence?
VirginiaMy question is about licensing. We are a flooring company. We do not have a contractors license because when we apply for our business license we are not required to have one in Virginia because our contracting sales are not above $1000 per job or over $150,000 per year. We have two sections on our business license. One for retail sales and one for contracting. A job falls into retail sales if the labor is associated with the sale of materials. In that instance you don't need a contractors license. Will this prevent me from filing a lien?
Virginia looking for advice on proper terminology for applying late payment fees to unpaid or overdue client invoices
VirginiaI am a subcontractor and am having a hard time understanding Levelset's description of the 150 day rule. The second I process a new contract, I enter that date, because I expect to turn around shop drawings ("work") very soon thereafter. All of my projects say that they're NOT PROTECTED now, even though I'm electing to send all available Notices to Owner the second I know about a project.
VirginiaI am a licensed HVAC installer and put in a system for a home which is closing Aug. 19. I was contracted by another contractor for the install which included the materials (which I paid for) and labor. I was supposed to receive payment upon completion by this contractor/Company however, he is not returning my calls neither to me or the owner of the property. The property owner told me to try and collect from the Company who sent me to do the job. I don't feel he will ever pay me as he is now not returning my calls. He was paid a substantial amount of money upfront for partial payment of a larger amount of work and since has not performed any work on the PICRA.
VirginiaI am a 19 and there was a $4,000 lien put on my checking account. It is from a company that has no record of me buying anything from them (including name, bank info, and SSN) but they do have record of my mother. My mother had a lien put on her account first from them. My mom says she did not use any of my information to get the property and I believe her, but my problem is that I need it removed. Does it make sense for them to put liens on both of our accounts? I filed for an exemption. Will I ever get my money back because my paycheck was deposited the same day I found out about it.
VirginiaI was contracted to perform a home remodel and everything was going well until about a month ago, when the owner stopped making payments. He now has replaced me and refuses to pay for services already rendered. I like to know how to protect myself from loosing moneys I've already spent.
VirginiaI am president of a homeowner's association. A few home owners have not paid the assessments (one for three years) for annual fees as outlined in the association agreement. They have not replied to notices sent to them.
VirginiaWe are small business in Hampton, VA looking for advice on proper terminology for applying late payment fees to unpaid or overdue client invoices.
VirginiaI am an HVAC Contractor in the State of Virginia, I finished the job I got paid the majority of the payment but not the final payment, homeowner asking I need to sign a Conditional Final Payment and Release of Lien Waiver then he will pay the final payment by check, the question if legally I have to sign also if his check returns what is my option?
VirginiaWe talked with our client to try to get paid and that didn’t work. I sent a Notice of Intent to File a Lien, and they received it on 5/26. On 5/27 they sent me a message, “provide me with a waiver for this claim”. On 5/31 they sent me another message, “Dispute-not willing to pay”. Shortly after that message on the same day, I received another message that was really, really long! They explained why they weren’t willing to pay due to our subcontractors work, and that Charles should have overseen the project better. They believe that we owe them for the amount they already paid for the materials that they still have on their property. We believe the amount owed to us is $1,163, but she says we owe her over $2000.
