I had a "mechanics lien" placed on my home in March 2022 (work was done in February). Long story short, the work was awful and they never finished the job bc we requested them to leave after they admitted to snooping around our home. The lien was in place for 6 months. Two months after the initial lien expired (November), they renewed it again but with added interest and fees (even though WV does not allow). Does this hold up? It was never signed off by legal counsel. I've been told by a real estate attorney that I should pursue a lawsuit since they destroyed my home, but I'd rather let it all settle on its own....Read More

I'm a cleaning vendor operating in Snowshoe WV. I have an outstanding balance do on a property that I currently clean. I have just recently found out the property has been sold and is closing on the 29th of this month. I was told this by the rental management company and not the owner. This gentleman has both a past and current amount due. He has said he will pay the invoice due immediately, however, he refuses to pay.
Can I file a mechanics lien against the property while he still owns it? And if yes, what happens to his closing?...Read More

A Homeowner received damaged to his roof from a storm. The insurance provider sent an adjuster out to access the damage & met with an contractor to who the homeowner hired.
A contract was presented to the insurance company with an itemized bill from the contractor & all was agreed upon.
The insurance company forwarded the check for the repair to the homeowner & was told the homeowner had to sign it & forward it on to the mortgage lender(Ditech).
The contractor proceeded to complete the work in a timely manner using his own funds for supplies.
The homeowner is the responsible party for paying the contractor, but has not received the check back from the mortgage company as they are sitting on it for some reason?
It has been over 40 days now with no payment.
The contractor has placed a "Mechanics Lien" on the property.
Why is the mortgage company holding this payment up???
Thank you!!!
