We have a subcontractor that filed bankruptcy, then changed their mind but their insurance company sent us a letter saying all billing will need to go through them till end of project. We were wondering if Zlien has any forms / suggestions on how to handle this situation going forward.
WashingtonI work in Washington state. Say we get a job new job but the work will not start for three months. However, we do have plans that are being worked on now.
1. Does that current work count for the 60 days to file a prelim notice?
2. Can I file the prelim when we enter the job into our system, even if workers are not on job for several months?
3. Is it ever too early to file prelim notice?
WashingtonCustomer suddenly closed their doors and we contacted the general contractor about payment. The general contractor had been properly notified per State of Washington commercial law. General contractor required our customer, their subcontractor, to also bond the job and subcontractor bond shows the general contractor as the oblige. Normally we would file a bond claim against the general contractor payment bond but general contractor is telling us to go after subcontractor bonding company for payment. Which bond do we pursue?

WashingtonI was hired by a property mngt company that I have worked for for over three years, we have an ongoing contract for services that names me as an authorized vendor. I started the job 8-14-17, emailed a notice to owner 11-20-17 and completed the job 10-6-17, sent a notice of intent 11-28-17.
The property mngt company is claiming they are agent for owner, I have not had any contact with property owner, mngt company will not provide contact information for owner.
WashingtonWe are a material supplier of aggregates and ready mix. We have a customer that provided us with an incorrect address when they placed an aggregate order. Our delivery driver did not notice when delivered as the properties are next to each other. We believe our customer may have done this on purpose. What are our lien rights in these circumstances?
WashingtonI found two liens that my company filed many years ago (2012 and 2002). They still appear to be attached to the property when searched on the county's assessors page. My understanding is that liens in Washington state expire after 8 months if not enforced. If so, why are these liens still attached to the properties? Do we have any obligation to remove these liens? Can we still enforce them now?

WashingtonThe initial notice was sent via certified mail to the previous address of the homeowner and was returned because well, he didnt own that property anymore and wasnt living there.
Washington requires service by certified mail for initial notices but it was then resent by regular mail. Would this still be considered a valid service of the initial notice?
WashingtonOur customer gave us the incorrect project info and the prelim notice went to a homeowner rather than the HOA address where the community pool is that we supplied material for. We last supplied material on 6/30/17 and they are refusing to pay roughly 30k. Is it worth attaining legal counsel or have we lost our lien rights based on the incorrect NTO that went out?
