FloridaWe are a small engineering/design firm. The Contractor was our Client. The Contractor was not paid for the work. The Owner of the residence he was supposed to do the work at informed him that they were no longer going to do the project and were moving out of state. He did not get paid, so we have not been paid. We do not feel this is right.
ColoradoIs a mechanics lien the appropriate mechanism for nonpayment of road assessments for maintenance and snowplowing of a private road used by more than 3 property owners?
MaineI am a contractor, we did some work on a building with a contract and the customer has defaulted on said contract but has offered to make payments, and has in fact made 1. but i was wondering can we put a lien against his assets, and not a mechanics lien on the property itself. The reason being we are close to the actual building owner and dont want to have any issues with him.
TennesseeHow do I file a claim against the General Contractors Liability Insurance when the GC allowed a Non-licensed person rent his GC license leaving a homeowner with negligent, shoddy work when the GC was never on the job and the non-licensed person took $100,000 for work not completed and products not released to us after we paid for them after the non-licensed person walked off the job? This GC, the only Qualifier, which we have never met and he did not oversee our job, he only rented his GC license to this non-qualified person. I thought about trying to find an Adjuster that would specialize in the area of collecting from the General Liability policy.
FloridaUpon submitting a lien filing to Levelset there was an accidental submittal by the research team of an invoice that did not belong to our company. With that said, the lien filing is due on the following Monday and this has been realized on a Friday and this lien with the incorrect invoice has already been mailed to the county clerk. What are our options for amending this lien and still having it filed in GA ( where the property is located) with such a short time span between now and the deadline date? I should say that this would reduce the lien balance not increase it.. Thanks!
GeorgiaI'm a subcontractor working on large park project. I finished my work a few months ago and our customer still has a balance on their account and pushing back to pay for the change order. I cannot find any bonds on this job, so I'm reaching out to see what my options are.
AlabamaWe are a contractor trying to collect final payment, the homeowner is nonresponsive and extremely unreasonable. The home has a pending sale with the buyers accepting the home as is. Close of escrow is in 10 days. Just trying to figure out the best course of action. Amount owned is $9500.00.
Thank You
CaliforniaI have a past client that I completed work for. I sent invoices, demand letters and still no payment. The General Contractor is holding this subs retainage because he believes the money is owed to my company. The client at the beginning paid his invoices and then kept asking for more work and even when completed he just dropped off and has refused to pay. I want to know what my options are and also I want to have an attorney for future issues that arise. I do not know if you offer advice or attorneys to contact. This is the beginning stages of how to collect and what we can and should do legally.
TexasI am a sub contractor that completed a job over a month ago and the customer only paid 50% of the invoice and now he is not getting back to us.
WashingtonI am a contractor that worked on a property for a roof replacement. The owner had two properties and was wanting to get both roofs done. Unfortunately the owner decided to only want one of the roofs done and signed a contract for the one property they wanted to complete. We had started the Roof on the wrong property and completed both roofs in agreement that she would pay us for the second property by June. We have not received the payment for the property that we agreed from the owner to pay at a later date. The work was done by April 15th. What do you recommend to work and recover the payment that has not been paid? Not sure of a Demand letter or Mechanics Lien on property, we are in Texas.
