I Am an independent contractor ,I did a remodel for a local doctor I had several cabinets custom built , a library ladder and several other items done. reworked the whole master closet and refinished the trim on the two areas. for a total of about 8500 dollars. This was about 18 moths ago. There were 2 things he was unhappy with at the time, I told him I would fix, a drawer and a cabinet door were warped. time went by and for personal reasons (my son was born) I put it in the back burner. He never called or followed up. when I sent Him a bill 6 months ago he refused to pay anything

UtahWe are building a home and ordered ICF Forms from a supplier. He agreed to buy back any leftovers we had when we were done. He way over ordered and owes us around $5,000. Can we place a lien against his business?
UtahI did a landscaping job clean up and finish the job as me and the property management agreed on. First the told me I’ll get paid in 30 days then 90 days. 90 days came up and now they are telling me work wasn’t completely and wasn’t going to pull for the work. The manager knows we completely the work as he came out when we were done and told me great work and to not do a certain section tell he found out with the property owner. Never heard back on that. So I filed a notice of intent to lien and today I just got a email from one of their lawyers saying they are not going to pay for full amount that they are willing to pay me $2100. Also that I’m licensed and bonded etc etc. I’m a small business as I am licensed and insured. Just hate that I’m a small business and taking advantage of my hard work. What should I do next? Take the money and get this past me or fight it for more?? Thank you
UtahI am a sub-contractor working for a General contractor on a puplic project. They have not paid us for several verbal change orders they gave us and supervised the work. We filed a lien against them and notified the University of Ga.
Can I get paid.
GeorgiaWe left the job site because we were not paid. We filed the mechanical lien with Levelset in November this year.
FloridaI'm a subcontractor and performed a lot of work for a client and never paid us. He gave us a portion of the payment and said he didn't have more money and that he was not going to pay us. I already filed and sent through Levelset a notice of intent to lien and it looks like he already received it and chose the option "Dispute". So I don't think he is going to pay. What do we do now? Do we wait until the 10 days go by and then file a Lien or we need to do something else? Thanks
FloridaWe have a public adjusting firm and one customer entered into an agreement (written) with our firm to prepare, present & negotiate the settlement for a state farm claim for a fee of 25%. After receiving the 1st check for over $12k, they deposited the money, without our endorsement (we were listed as an additional payee), and does not want to pay us our fee.
IllinoisI just started with this company and am going through the aging...I have 3 invoices dated 2018 & 2019 from a property management company that have not been paid. I do not know why it hasn't been collected, but from my understanding that company no longer manages the property. Is there anything I can do legally or do I have to write them off?
North CarolinaI had a roof installed in 2019. The contractor provided a final invoice November 2019. We have paid $10,000 of $13,701.98. I have attempted to contact the contractor multiple times to discuss final payment as there were three issues I wanted to address before payment. I had asked that the invoice reflect a line item specifically for debris removal as it would be covered by insurance; there was a manufacturer's rebate for veterans that did not appear to be applied; and there was property damage for which we paid and were told would be reimbursed. I had contacted them a few times previously by email and left phone messages, and then again most recently on Jul 1, 2020 and then again on July 27, 2020. Since I cannot get a response, do I need to send a lien waiver or since it's been well over 60 days since services were rendered, can I assume they cannot come back to me asking for any further payment?
