I have a contract on the Job. He owes me $3,900.00 . I have before and after photos of the work done and it was done right. The house has water damage causing the 40yr old popcorn ceiling to crack (8 inch crack). The painting of the ceiling caused the crack to expand 3-4 inches wider . Home owner trying to blame me for his ceiling crack. Fixing this crack was not in the contract. Owner also complaining about a rust spot coming through the new paint. (a 5 min. fix)
His Emails indicate that he does not plan on paying me in full or possibly not at all.
I imagine he will try to talk me into accepting way less than he owes me.
Can I accept partial payment and then go after him w a lean for the rest? I he makes me sign something to let him off the full payment can I sue for blackmail?
If I don't accept what his offer is I may not ever get anything out of him if he diappears into australia.
Thank You for your time!

ColoradoI own a garage door install company in Georgia and did a work for a construction company. the work is done and they ask me to fill up "interim waiver and release upon payment"
Should i fill before receiving payment?
Why they ask for it before the payed the invoices?
GeorgiaI represent a steel supplier for a project in south Georgia. This is a big project with many subs, my client being one of them. There is a major dispute with the GC over alleged chargebacks and unpaid invoices. We are still within the 90 day time frame to file liens on the property. However, a Notice to Contractor was not sent by my client. A NOC was provided late but it is not signed by the clerk of court. I am verifying whether or not it was ever filed.
One point:
1. We do have privity of contract, a direct contract with the GC. It appears that although best practice would have been to send a NTC, it is not required by Georgia law because of the existence of the contract that we have with the GC.
Question: Am I correct in believing that we can go ahead and file the liens in absence of a NTC because we do have privity, directly contracted with, the GC?

GeorgiaWhat do I do the jobs finished they will not pay there 4200 tab. How do I handle this it will need
To be legally
GeorgiaWe were notified by a supplier that the contractor we are doing work for has a record of not paying customers. Our contract with them has a waiver of lien rights, and we just started the work this week. Can I send a letter of commencement? And what can I do to ensure we are paid and can file a lien if needed. Do we have any way to ensure we are paid? We've also been notified that if we submit an invoice more than once, we will be charged. What can we do?
GeorgiaWhat do we need to file now to protect our lien rights as the project progresses?
Can you handle this for us?
GeorgiaWhat information is needed by the credit department from the sales department for good credit making decision?
AlaskaI am a subcontractor and having trouble receiving payment from contractor he won't release payment unless i sign a unconditional lien and he only wants to pay half of what he owes until he inspects work but send pics already of work completion we live in Texas is that legal?
TexasWe signed a Interim Waiver and Release Upon Payment and it is approaching the 60 days to file an Affidavit of Non-Payment. Since They are a new customer I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt but we need to protect our rights.
Thank you,
GeorgiaDon't have a payroll...just subcontractors. Can I pay myself--as usual? Can I pay sub-contractors or companies that I don't give a 1099 to. Do these qualify for my normal payroll as subcontractors so I can writeoff the repayment as much as possible.
GeorgiaI’m a Asphalt roller and I’m still working are there is there any aid for me out there. Am I considered a essential worker. Will I get any help?
MarylandCan I require payment up front for materials on my contract jobs? How do I protect myself in this environment where our economy is plummeting and I am still getting work? I am a Subcontractor and standard procedure is "we get paid after the G.C. gets paid" but we are supposed to buy all of the materials and furnish labor before we can invoice. What if the Bank pulls the funding for the project?
CaliforniaHi There:
We have supplied chairs on account to a rental company in Washington State and they have not paid their account. What do we do?
My reading indicates that a Mechanics lien applies for construction projects....how do I register a security interest against goods supplied to a person which are then not paid for? Thank you for your help.
WashingtonIm writing the payment policy for suppliers for my subcontracting business. Do you have an good resources for me please? Thanks.
WyomingIn Washington, we are required to file our lien within 90 days after our last day on the job. Typically, invoices are partially paid within 30 days by the insurance company (undisputed amount) and the remaining discrepancy will be the basis for our Notice of Intent to Lien.
My question is, at what point during the 90 days should we be sending a notice of intent to lien to try and spur payment by either the insured or the insurance company? Preferably we would like to be paid by the insurance company to avoid negative reviews from the customer.
Thanks
