vendor put lien on my property for additional money

IllinoisLien Waivers

A vendor came to me to change the roof due to hail damage. Sign the doc that they will collect all the money from insurance and I do not have to pay anything. No document sign on the repair cost. After work is completed they are asking for $5000 for the previous (4 years) claim money that insurance paid me. They put the lien on my property.

If a contractor improved your property by performing work, they are entitled to payment under the law. That said, there are a number of factors that must line up in order for the contractor to collect: 

  • First and foremost, there is a time limit to place and enforce a Mechanics Lien;
  • Second, the contractor must "perfect" the lien properly or it will be ineffective;
  • Third, a contractor cannot collect twice for the same work; and
  • Finally, you can force the contractor to sue to lose their rights.

In short, take the Notice of Mechanics Lien you received and talk it over with a knowledgable Attorney. There are many ways in which to defeat a lien claim, but you must know about them and work through the process diligently. 

I hope this information was helpful. Best of luck!

I want you to know that your needs are the same for me because I was also looking for extra money. Not long ago, I know that a casino is one of the easiest ways to get additional income. Since I was a gambling man, I decided to search the Internet and found this https://nederlandscasinos.net/en/payments/ideal-casinos/ and it also will help you to read a review of the casino platform, its pros and cons. I think it will be of use to you.
