Hello, We completed a project more than 150 days ago. We were approved for a change order for additional work by the General Contractor in writing. The General Contractor is refusing to pay us because the project Owner is refusing to pay them for our and other subcontractor change orders. We were just informed of the project Owner refusing to pay. Up til this point we were told that all parties were working on it and that payment was expected to be made. I understand that the State of Wyoming requires that the mechanics lien be filed within 150 days from last working on the project. This date passed before we were notified about the Owner refusing to pay. I spoke with a different general contractor and they think that because we were told that we would be paid up until after the 150 days expired, that the 150 days to file a lien should start essentially now. What are your thoughts?...Read More

Is the due date of the intent to lien the last day we can send it out or the last day they can receive the notice? We sent out the preliminary notice to the owner in Wyoming at the beginning of December. It was both emailed to the home owner and mailed. I want to make sure we file the notice of intent at the right moment so we don't miss out....Read More

We live in Montana Our general contractor is in breach of contract for a multitude of reasons. Did not ensure installation according to Mfg specs. Did not install materials agreed upon being 2 of many examples. We emailed a notice of breach and cease and desist. We have started hiring contractors to fix things done (and destroyed) wrong and finish the project. He has filed a notice to file a mechanics lien. How should I respond? He is also filing under a company name that we did not contract with. He also has monies included in the lien notice that are not labor or materials. This was a cost plus contract and he has not been able to clearly document his costs....Read More

I am NOT licensed bonded or insured.... I did some work for my uncle on his property in Wyoming, (I live in Idaho) = wrote down my hours - he wrote me a check - then cancelled the check and it bounced. I'm wondering which I should do first = Hire an attorney to sue him for fraud or file a lien on his property. I have already had the preliminary notice and the intent to file a lien documents sent.... the 20 day waiting period has passed. Please advise. P.S. I intend for him to pay all costs of pursuing this. Thank you for your consideration, Sincerely, Greg Wozniak 208-284-7038...Read More

I subcontracted to an HCR Mail Carrier to cover her delivery route via verbal agreement for $100 per day. I have since found out that the average rate is $250 per day. But that is really irrelevant. She has since refused to pay the full amount she owes me saying that her total rate is $100 per day and that she did not say that is what she would pay me specifically. So because they had to bring in other mail carriers to train me because of her sudden accident prevented her from doing so; I would have to split that $100 per day with the people that trained me. That it is not her responsibility to pay them above and beyond the $100 per day that she agreed to pay me. Now this is not an exact number, but I believe she still owes me a minimum of $500 and she is refusing to pay me. What do I do? ...Read More

The owner is building a new home and is running the project. I was hired by the owner to do do work on a swimming pool and spa at the house that was not completed by a another company. I have sent an invoice for labor and materials used and owner has told me he has no plans of paying. I am still owed for more labor and materials that I have not sent but I am getting ready to send tomorrow. I have been in contact with the owner about payment and I had to threaten to stop working at project to get paid before. I due not have a contract with him but he knows my hourly rate from previous invoice. I also have hotel,gas receipts ect. to show dates I was there. I have a Pool and Spa business is in Big Sky Montana. I was called and asked by his assistant if I could work on this project in Jackson Hole Wyoming because previous contractor bailed. I have been dealing with owner ever since. He lives on property in guest house. He has made it clear verbally and in text messages has no plans to pay. With no contract can I still file a lien. Thanks William...Read More
