Hey there, So I hired an excavation contractor to preform work on my personal home. I paid him 1/2 upfront which was 10k. The excavation contractor was doing a rent to own program with a company called Pro Source Machinery for the excavator he was using at my house. A few days into the job, Pro Source Machinery showed up at my property and repossessed the excavator because the contractor I hired hadn't made a payment on it in 6 months. The rental company has now notified me that they are filing a 27k lien against my home because the excavation contractor owes them - it makes very little sense to me. I'm not liable for the business dealings of the people that I hire. Please advise
It does make very little sense, but now you're stuck dealing with it. Defeating the lien is the stuff of litigation, whether right or wrong. There are a number of issues at play here, including handling the lien on the property, if necessary, potential for an overstated lien claim, and your potential defense relating to paying the contractor in full for work performed. Feel free to call to discuss. 7205007855.
