This customer has never paid. It appears I sent a payment reminder but no pre-lien notice. Do we have any recourse?

My question is don,t I need to send a copy to City Hall for recording ? or am I ok by just sending to the company that hired me ?
Thank you Ron
CaliforniaWe received notice from a supplier stating that my contractor did not pay them and they intend to file a lien.
However...
1. It's a homestead, no contract was filed with the county, both spouses did not sign
2. The notice is a month late and not in the proper format with the residential code portion in it
Would this supplier still be able to file a lien if I ignore their letter? Or should I inform them about filing an invalid lien?
TexasI'm a subcontractor working at UCSF. Our original scope was to furnish & install metal framing, insulation & drywall for a total contract value of $148,151.00. We are now being asked to quote additional scopes of work including waterproofing and plastering. This scope would increase the contract a significant amount. Our question is do we need to update the 20 day Prelim notice with these additional scopes and revised contract value?

CaliforniaI am a supplier working on a large commercial job in Cranberry Township (over $500,000 in materials we are supplying to a subcontractor). I have been looking to see if the job has been registered on the "state construction notices directory", so I can put them on notice that we are a supplier. I have not seen this job on there yet.
If the job is not filed with this website, does that mean a prelim notice is not necessary? Would it still be a good idea to mail a notice to the owner and GC on the project?
PennsylvaniaWe are a staffing agency and we had technicians that worked on a PW school site in Washington. Are we required to send preliminary notices for this site?
WashingtonWe received a Notice of Wind Up and Liquidation of Company on a project. We have not been paid for work completed. Can we file a lien?
CaliforniaWhat happens if we file a preliminary notice halfway through the project? For example, we sign a new sales order this week, but we have been working on it for the past six months. What right do we have in that circumstance?
MontanaI’m trying to find out if our lien could still be valid. Background information...contractor paid a partial bill and his check was returned and he has failed to make a valid payment. I filed a preliminary loan with him and the commercial property owner. At the time I did not know who the business owner was. I then filed a lien and now had the business owner information (no preliminary lien was given to them), and was notified that the commercial property owner was not correct and was given the new property owner info and filed a lien (no preliminary lien was sent to new owner as the 20 day has past). The lien was filed by the county clerk on the business owner, new property owner, and contractor (he was listed on the lien, but not served a certified lien since we now had the owners info). Is my lien valid in California since the business owner and new property owner not get a preliminary lien?
CaliforniaAm I required to provide a return receipt request when I send NTO by certified mail? Can I just send it certified and then track it and print the delivery notice from USPS when it's delivered?
It saves us at minimum $1.70 each time we send one without a return receipt request, just have to cover the certified fee.
Thank you

UtahI just got a call from the "owner" associated with this project and it is incorrect. JKC owns a daycare stand alone building. She said that there is a vacant lot next to her but that the address removes the "Crossing" in the address, this could possibly be the issue? I know that the GC and Sub are correct. What can be done to find the correct owner and send them the notice? Thank you for your help!
FloridaI need to get the name of the owner and the lender because the GC not provided it to me, and I need to do the preliminary notice. previously you provided it to me. when I filled the preliminary notice I said that I did not know that information and I got the option it I want to pay so that you could find it for me but now that option no longer appears to me.
I would like to know if the document is equally valid without the owners name and the lender name because they will not be notified?
CaliforniaIs prelien notice (20 day notice) for a mechanic's lien different from hand written contract and Notice of mechanic's lien Claim? If Hand written contract is there is pre-lien notice in standard from required for a General Contractor in california to file a Mechanic's lien?
