North CarolinaI sent a lien for our project called RCloud. Since I sent the lien, the GC has made one progress payment. We are still owed $218,602.80 which includes unbilled retention.
The GC is asking if I've updated the lien amount to reflect the new balance since they made a payment. Is this something I need to do? Or does the lien amount remain in tact until I'm paid in full?
CaliforniaThe "constructor"- a dumpster rental company that my former tenant used to remove all her personal stuff (old tires, refrigerators, mattresses, etc) when she moved out, filed a mechanics lien on my residential property. The balance due was $180, but on the mechanics lien, it requested for $4200, including "legal process fee" of $1500 for each transition?? I already made my former tenant paid her back the owed $180, does the constructor have the legal rights to ask for more money on the lien? My property is in San Mateo county, CA.
CaliforniaWe are a small porta-potty rental company. We filed a mechanics lien against one of our customers who will not pay, but it's only about $1,800. I see we need to file a suit within 3 weeks. Is that something we can do on our own?
MassachusettsRoof was installed, homeowner's refinance fell through. Roofing company left holding the bag for 23.000.
ColoradoI am a new president of our condo association and I found that several of the owners in the association are delinquent in their monthly fees to the association. I need to know what steps in Tennessee should be followed to begin a lien on the property to secure our past due fees. Some members just apparently pay no attention to our by laws and ignore the fees. It is placing our association in a financial position that isn't healthy. Where do I begin to try and collect the fees?
TennesseeA bondsman held a lien against my home for a bond that I paid in full even after the case was resolved and the bond was released by the Court. The bondsman claimed he was owed about $4,000 for "expenses." He opted to enforce the lien, forcing my house into foreclosure. I sold, and, at closing, the bondsman sent a bill for $25,000 to the title company for satisfaction. They said there was nothing I could do, that the lienholder could charge whatever. Can I now sue the lienholder?
ColoradoWe are a subcontractor on the Glendora Public Market project where we filed an intent to foreclose on the private property. We've been notified by our General contractor that the Owner has responded by stating they will be filing a counter suit. We are not sure what that that means for this procedure or what would be our next step in collecting our payment. Our general contractor has made an offer for half of the amount due to close this project. Would like to get advice on whether to proceed or settle??
CaliforniaI need to enforce a Mechanics' Lien on a property in Sonoma County, California. What are the payment options you offer to enforce a Mechanics' Lien? I am the architect of a single family home. The project was ready for re-submittal and the Owner refused to pay for the work done. The project stopped, Owner's counsel acknowledges that payment from Owner to Architect is due, but wants to give a quarter of what is due. Sent a Notice of Intent to Foreclose through Certified Mail to both Counsel and Owner. A week later I received a note from Counsel that he is no longer representing the Owner.
CaliforniaWe have filed a lien with no response. The homeowner owes us 15k
IllinoisWe filed the lien thru Levelset in April 2020 on the Cambria Hotel project in GA. We have gotten paid a good portion since that time, but there is still an outstanding balance that the GC owes us in the amount of $11,400.23. The GC has become nonresponsive. What can be done to collect our remaining balance?
