Do they have a right to file a mechanics lien?

Oregon

My well driller has not filed the Well Log and we require an inspection for our VA loan for the work they do. They finished the drill 9 days ago and have threatened to fill the well with cement if we don't pay them cash by tomorrow. They have sent us a mechanic lien warning. We never received or signed the $2000 work contract. They are also adding 6% interest on the loan immediately. We never said that we are not paying them. Just waiting for the job to be complete. What are our rights?
