I had mold remedial work done at my home, no contract, just a quote. The company did around 30% of the work they said they were going to do and left my place in shambles. Things went missing, furniture was not cleaned, it was a mess. When I questioned them, they said they did everything they said they were going to do. They then proceeded to stick me with an $8500 bill and at the same time, place a lien on my home. When I questioned them, they simply said, we'll be placing a lien on your home and you can speak to our attorney. The lien was already there though, no notice, nothing. I am going to send them a check for the work they actually did, attaching a letter stating that this is for payment in full, and then contest the lien. I'm doing this myself because they know that no attorney is going to touch this case for $8500 because even to get that cut in half, I'll have to spend 3k or more, thus I'm no further ahead. My question is, if I contest the lien, and they file to foreclose, am I stuck with more fees? Or can I just pay them the balance at that point and be done with it? Side note, this company has done this to over 20 different people in the last 3 years, and should be investigated! They're in Florida. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
