See my question. 4 separate invoices totaling $8,700. Owners do not respond to my attempts to set up a payment program.
MarylandBreech of contract. Contracted work was given to a third party without our consent.
ColoradoThe X fiancé and maybe split after three years of owning a home together. We had purchased a house after we were together for year. I have spent $27,000 in improvements. My name is not on the title for the property but I am going to put a mechanics lien against The house so she can’t sell it without paying me.
KansasOur deadline to file a bond claim against a general contractor at a state owned building is tomorrow. When we reached out to acquire the bond information we were told that the general contractor is not required to have a bond unless the project is $50,000 or more. Is that true and the state of Texas? If so do we have any other options? Or is our only option to take them to arbitration question ?
TexasWe are a subcontractor that did cabinet work for a dental office and did not get paid. The contractor kept telling us, he was getting money, but we haven't seen a dime. Now he wont answer calls.
UtahI was working with the Mortgage company as the Insurance claim paid the money to the Mortgage company. The homeowner has been using delay tactics as the home is still not finished and when he didn't pay us we said we wouldn't couldn't do any more work.
However, my worker was still there with the approval of the homeowner and I've been in communication. However, the last communication I have with that worker was in October 2018. Now that the mortgage company is delaying the payout to me they suggested I do a lien. Can you help
North CarolinaI have a lien question, can u answer...I am the general contractor that has a mechanics lien inplace from the beginning of a construction project. The customer has not paid $4500 in overages. I never released the lien. Customer just put his house on the market. My concern is his bank drew up the initial lien, I just read they can sign off and don't need me. (problem is banker is his next door neighbor & good friend) where does this leave me?
TexasDid $2500 wood flooring install for a good client of mine the builder was supposed to pay but he is refusing. I have emails and text him admitting he had to pay but refuses
CaliforniaWe had a customer who for a few projects we did not file Prelim Notices and now they are refusing to pay, I also know that they have several General Contractors, Suppliers and Owners who are filing suits against them. We would like to file a small claims against them and am wondering if I file per project or do I just one case for a lump sum. The amount still owed to us is well over the $5,000 limit in CA, but anything is better than nothing.
Californiathe contractor has not been paying the subcontractors providing labor and materials on the construction of a building within 30 days of receiving payment from the owner.
TexasI have a home owner that agreed via email to a fixed price contract for floor tile installation, refinishing of hardwood floors and the installation of the bathroom fixtures. Once the carpet was removed we discovered stains in the wood floors ( my contract excluded repair or replacement of any damaged wood flooring) I gave the home owner options to resolve this issue however she did not wish to spend anymore money and had me continue knowing the stains and bad condition of the wood would remain. The evening before I expected to finish the project I emailed an invoice for the contract amount and told her I would be complete around noon the following day. At 10:00 am the next day I received an email that stated I was completely out of line and that I must have made a mistake of at least $1000.00 at this point I knew I was going to have a problem and stopped work on the project until this could be resolved. We met at the project location once after I stopped work and at that time she told me she did not want me to complete the contract and we went discussed what needed to be completed and she said she would get back to me. I sent her a new invoice that reflected a credit of 4 hours which is what I had estimated it would take to complete the contract scope of work. She sent me an email that requested another meeting at the project site when I asked her the purpose of the meeting she listed the same things that we had discussed in the prior meeting plus made comments that were personal attacks toward me and requested how I came up with the figure I had come up with for the contract. I'm still hoping I can resolve this but I need to know what cost effective legal action I can take.
Thank you in advance.
CaliforniaWe were hired by a GC to do work on a state owned property. On August 28 we received a down payment and began work. We completed one of two stairwells. The general contractor terminated the contract and refused to pay. We sent the final invoice after work was completed on September 8. Originally I was told that in the state of Texas I was not required to send a preliminary notice but it was just brought to my attention that because it is a state owned property that I was required to send one and have potentially missed the deadline to so. I’m trying to confirm whether or not that is correct and if so if I am still able to proceed by sending a notice or what my next step would be . They also failed to provide the surety bond information so that presents a whole other situation ????PLEASE HELP. If not already, I’m running out of time.
TexasWe were brought on-board to Manage the Project, and hire all Trades, and the owners, (Investors) agreed to pay all progress payments upon receipt of invoices from my Firm. Upon the last phase of Framing, the owners advised us of running short on money to continue, I agreed to pay the labors. in the sum of $100K to keep the project moving. However, we had about 5% of Framing to conclude, and we paid monies to the laborers as inducement to wrap up. We invoiced the owners in the sum of $100K in which they ignored us by messaging our chain email threads without acknowledging payment reimbursement. We never filed lien notices to the Hard Money Lender during any phases of the project.
CaliforniaShipping to Jamaica and want to know if I need to send notices/how to protect my rights.
CaliforniaI am a general contractor that did a job for a property manager. She was rushing me to pick up the doors and install them so that I can pass inspection under certain date however when I invoiced her for the work done she was refusing to pay the full amount she wants to pay what she wants to pay only which is less than the invoice,what is my recourse?
