New YorkHave you guys ever experienced bank card fraud? If I encounter one, how do I stand up to it? Or maybe the opposite can be prevented...
ArizonaI am a surety broker and there is a chance one of our client's is going to have a Mechanic's Lien filed by a sub due to negligence of one of their subs that started a fire on a jobsite. Our client would be looking to bond off the Mechanic's lien and I was wondering if they need a Surety Bond for this and, if so, is there a particular format to follow. I have never a Lien situation in Indiana before, so this is new to me.
Please advise and Thank you very much.
Indianal'm a GC in Texas. I have a sub that was fired from a job for inability to perform the job. Given multiple chances to correct his mistakes but could not remedy his own mistakes. Now he has filed a pre-lien with us and the homeowner for $140,000 more than he was hired to complete. He never sent us an invoice, for the work he completed in which he was overpaid on per our contract already. He also hasn't sent us any details regarding his $140K Claim. His pre-lien notice is very vague. Question : Is a sub required to submit an invoice to the GC prior to making or filing a lien? Question 2: Would purchasing a surety bond for the homeowner prevent or "shield" the homeowner in event he files a frivolous lien? This would be during construction.
TexasWhat does bonding off a lien mean step by step? Can the sub still file a claim?
Texas Will the bond company just pay him or will they require proof he perfected the lien? Will I get a say in the matter? HOW DOES THIS PROCESS WORK? My sub did not "perfect the lien" per Texas laws as he did not send out notices of any sort. At what point can I get my $$ back from the bond?

Me gustaría saber si pueden ayudarme o asesorarme sobre que es lo que tengo q hacer para lograr que me pague mi dinero
ArkansasCan a contractor demand us to pay him upfront for the 20% fee he charged to assist us in a supplement to our original claim for the Texas freeze last year, prior to the work being completed, inspection, and or the payment by the insurance company?
We researched and found Texas House Bill 2013: Contractors Cannot Act as Public Adjusters. Texas, it is illegal for a contractor to handle or negotiate your insurance claim on your behalf. The public adjuster must be licensed and the contractor cannot be the same person or company. Even if he was licensed inTexas, a PA's fee is capped at 10% of the settlement of the claim.

UtahHello,
I filed a Lien on a property on 12/08/2021 and have not received payment. I recently received a "Release of Lien Bond" from the General Contractor written up by an Insurance Company. What does this mean for me as a Subcontractor? Or what steps should I take moving forward to get paid?
