We live in a state where the intent to foreclose is not required but we want to send one anyway to the non-paying customer as well as their current lien holders in hopes them realizing that we are going to foreclose if payment is not made. We have filed a legitimate mechanics lien with the county clerk and it is in force currently. 1. Do we need to send the document to each owner listed on the property? Does it matter if the owner's listed are married or not? 2. If they have more than one mortgage should we send it to all mortgage companies? ...Read More

We sold a load of Plywood to Selected Furniture LLC in Knox, Indiana (invoice date: 8-5-2021). They made some partial payments, but stopped after the last payment on 11/07/2022 ($1,000). The remaining balance is $9,372.39. Silvaris Corporation pursued collections through small claims court in Starke County for $6,000 (small claims limit when filing without legal representation). We received a summary judgment ($6,125 with court costs) which has been signed by the judge. Would a lien be an appropriate next step to pressure the debtor for payment or is there another avenue you would suggest? ...Read More

Hello, I had over 3k worth of fraud on my account with chase bank so I withdrew all my money from that bank while they were investigating it, they gave me credit back but later withdrew it all and my bank went negative the amount they owed me. I called them and they said I had to make a police report but sadly all this happened right as I was moving to Mexico so I couldn’t go make the police report in person. 3 years later I moved back to Californian and called to have it resolved to see if I still needed to have a police respite filled and they said there is nothing they can do and the money went to collection, can I take them to small claims court to get my money back? I didn’t make the charges, it’s my money they owe me and it’s affecting my credit now....Read More

Every billing cycle we submit our application for payment/invoice, and every time we go in to pick up payment, the Contractor short pays. They are now 50+ days late and have requested us to change the amount of our invoice now that it is time for them to pay again. I thought they had 14 days to give written notice of any changes to be made once they receive the application for payment. ...Read More
