MinnesotaCustomer brought the car in for repair. Customer made aware of diagnostic fee and signed initial contract. After finding out the cost of the repair ie replacing the transmission customer could not afford repair. Numerous attempts to contact customer have been to no avail. Contacted the finance company who has a current lien. Finance company initially was in favor of repair. Finance company came back to say they would not pay for repair due to the age and value of the vehicle. I informed them of the impending fees I.e diagnostic fee and storage fees as the vehicle is still on the premises and mounting daily. Currently no repairs have been made just diagnostic and storage fees. Finance company refuses to pay those fees. Still no contact from the owner.
DelawareHello. I had a contractor file a lien for work was not performed. In addition removed material off my property. I was forced to finalize the remaining work on my own. My question is the theft of materials considered conversion? As well, I have a detailed accounting of materials removed, work performed that contractor did not finish. To date, a lien was filed for $53,000 with no lawsuit. The frivolous lien was filed with a round number but not any invoices or any detailed accounting We have a thorough narrative and proof of work completed. How can someone perfect a lien in Montana without supporting accounting? In addition we are a brand new RV park with lost income due to the contractors dishonesty, and delay in opening.We have made continuous requests-demands for an accounting. Can someone just make up a false lien and file it with no accounting? Any advice would be much appreciated, In addition to a SW Montana attorney that specializes Mechanic Lien law-consruction litigation? Thank you for your time in advance.

MontanaJob was completed and I signed a full and final Lien Waiver but didn't realize the additional work orders were not added. I have email confirmation to support the non payment. They made a mistake but because I signed the full and Final Waiver they said they don't have to pay.
IllinoisI'm a non-licensed mechanic can I put a mechanic's lien on a vehicle still being financed
TexasI'm a GC in SC. When a lien is filed in SU I'm unsure if the claim needs to be served within the lien deadline or if it's okay to serve the owner outside the deadline? Another question I have is about the serving process, when a lien is served to the property owner is it required for the document to include the recorded information?

TexasI have a Mechanics Lien on my home in Saco, Maine placed by the builder who was hired by the General Contractor whom I hired for my home that had a terrible fire last November 2019.
I need to get the lien removed because it is not true with the dates of work done by the builder or his employees of his company and I don't owe him any money?
MaineWe've been paid for our contract amount and have a part of our contract that allows us to collect for interest carry fees. Can we file a lien if we were paid for our subcontractor labor and our GC's and fees?
ColoradoHello.
My neighbor has performed many plumbing jobs for me. I hired him to plumb some fixtures and let him know that I would be providing the materials needed, which also included instructions for proper installation of the fixtures.
He chose to use his own materials, ignore the instructions, and in doing so, rendered some of the functionality of the restroom unusable. I have since paid him, but tried to negotiate a refund for the improperly performed labor, or a fix at a discounted labor rate. He agreed to neither options. I have considered disputing the charge on my credit card, but he has since threatened to file a mechanic's lien against me. Does he have legal grounds to do so if he performed the work improperly and I dispute the charge?
Thank you
TennesseeA lien has been recorded against owner's property by a subcontractor with no contract with the owner. Subcontractor provided a preliminary notice but failed to list the type of labor or materials he was providing in the section of the preliminary notice that asks for this information. In fact, it was blank. Does the owner have a defense to this lien claim?
CaliforniaI am a Public Adjuster here in Georgia. Homeowner hired me to nego their insurance claim for water dmg to their home. In this case, as a project Construction estimator, do I have Lien rights?
GeorgiaI am a house owner in Pennsylvania. I had hired a PA to help with an electrical unit replacement claim. The PA then called the restoration company to rip off the drywall and install moisture sucking machine to find the potential leak that caused the unit replacement. They were unsuccessful in finding the cause and then we got a local handyman to fix it for us for just $150. We were told that that the claim would pay for all the expenses but the work authorization contract we signed with the restoration company had a line that said I will be responsible to pay the company if the claim gets rejected. The PA also created an inflated bill for future repairs such as repainting the drywall and carpet replacement and sent it to our insurance company which eventually got denied. The restoration company wants us to pay the inflated bill of $8000 for one day's worth of work (ripping drywall (in ~100sqft area) and sent us a notice of lien. How do I deal with this? I do not want to get into any legal battles.
