What is the MAXIMUM DEPOSIT DOWN for a Contractor to charge for a house siding job in MISSOURI. . . the entire estimate was 8200.00 Job.
I was asked for 75% down. 25% on completion.
I felt this a bit Unreasonable. . . & very HIGH!!
MissouriMY CABLE COMPANY CONTRACTOR DOESNT WANT TO PAY ME (SUBCONTRACTOR) WHAT I'M OWED. NEW JERSEY LABOR DEPT ONLY HANDLE WAGE AND HOUR COMPLAINT. WHAT CAN I DO
New JerseyIn California, can a Owner of a private project hold a progress payment to a GC because they have not received unconditional waivers (GC & Subs) from the previous months pay application?
My Owner is continuously late on progress payments and they are claiming that they do not have unconditionals from the previous month. I (the GC) cannot supply the unconditionals in time because payment is always late. This is a self-perpetuating problem.
CaliforniaI subcontracted to an HCR Mail Carrier to cover her delivery route via verbal agreement for $100 per day. I have since found out that the average rate is $250 per day. But that is really irrelevant. She has since refused to pay the full amount she owes me saying that her total rate is $100 per day and that she did not say that is what she would pay me specifically. So because they had to bring in other mail carriers to train me because of her sudden accident prevented her from doing so; I would have to split that $100 per day with the people that trained me. That it is not her responsibility to pay them above and beyond the $100 per day that she agreed to pay me.
Now this is not an exact number, but I believe she still owes me a minimum of $500 and she is refusing to pay me.
What do I do?
WyomingThey call me and have me repair their auto shop equipment I also have estimates that were given and ok'd to go forward and order parts and they were never altered afterwards the prices given are the prices they were charged. Also the terms are stated due upon receipt these receipts were signed. I also have emails stating payments are past due and I also have text messages these invoices would be paid. The customer did pay for jobs on one location that his son runs but none of the other shops I did work at were paid. Its amazing this person is in business let alone about 20 locations. I cant believe he has any servicer willing to do work for him.

How is this for notice of intent for prompt payment act
New Jerseywe're a sub contractor, (Electrical) that just took on a large union project that is being billed out at T&M. How do we insure prompt timely payments? Can we request a payment bond be posted?
New JerseyCan a contractor require full payment of payment and performance bonds before paying a sub-contractor a draw?
North CarolinaI have a customer that is refusing to pay and also is refusing to allow me to retrieve my tools still on site.
KentuckyThe contract states “Such alleged damage will not allow customer to delete, delay, or alter payment schedule of the contract.”
There is only a small amount due and I’m concerned the contractor will deny responsibility of the damage.
CaliforniaIf a contractor signs a Subcontractors proposal accepting terms contained therein and subcontractor has satisfactorily completed all work on project, is it legal for contractor to withhold payment until subcontractor signs contractors subcontract.
CaliforniaIs a prime contractor relieved from prompt payment obligations to its sub if the public entity does not pay the contractor? For example, prime must pay sub within 7 days of receipt of payment from public entity. What if public entity does not pay? Does the prime have an obligation to pay the sub within a certain amount of time? If so, please provide the statutory reference. Thank you!
ColoradoThe company I work for is completing out-of-state subcontracting work for a contractor in Spring City, Utah. The contractor is late on payments and is asking us to sign a document outlining the remaining payments, but is trying to leave out various fees/costs.
We are getting suspicious on his behaviors, and decided to look into him. At this time, we cannot verify he has a license through the Utah DOPL license verification directory. We also cannot find trace of his company on the internet, social networks, or phone books. We're worried that this is a large scam.
UtahI am in Washington State. We have multiple jobs with one contractor who refuses to pay on progress payments until we file the affidavit of wages paid. Are payments on public contracts allowed to be withheld for this reason?
WashingtonHi. If you are a contractor who is late fulfilling a contract and you are asked to stop mid-project due to this, are you due any monies for the work already done or materials purchased for the project at hand?
