I have requested a copy of a bond from my general contractor and they refuse to provide me with one. Can they do that?
TexasService of Affidavit
New YorkI am working for GC for California Public works and one of sub didn't get paid due to several reasons (we have hard evidence that this sub didn't perform such work so we didn't pay them).
Now I received Notice of Nonpayment from this sub. I researched a bit but in order to file mechanic lien or bond claim, sub must have submitted 20 days preliminary notice. This sub didn't submit prelim notice so I assume that sub doesn't have right to file a claim on this project. right?
As a GC, what kind of action should we take after receiving this notice? Should we do something?

AlabamaNot my situation but asking for someone else.
They are a contractor company and had a claim filed against their bond for $12,000. The company has also since gone under so there is no incoming cash flow. They haven't been able to pay back their bond company and is now getting sued for over $14K. Is there any way the bond company would be willing to settle for a lower amount if $8K is all they are able to scrape up so far and provide?
