I am a subcontractor and the general contractor refuses to pay me even after a lien has been issued. If they bond it out to start receiving payment from the owner again, how do I make a claim on that bond. Also, how do I find out who has the bond? Thank you
With how you worded the question, this sounds like a mechanics’ lien bond and not a payment bond. If it is a mechanics’ lien bond, you will need to foreclose same as you would on a lien; filing a Lis Pendens, Summons and Complaint within 6 months of the last date of work. If it is a payment bond, you need to request a copy of the bond and make a claim in accordance with its terms.
Please feel free to give me a call if you need further help.
