I have a mechanics lien against my house. Long story short…. The contractor that was redoing my basement. He breached the contract by stealing from my house so i told him not to come back. The project wasn’t completed and the money that I owed him would reflect that so thats why I didn’t pay him. What are my options? What happens next if I pay off the lien. Will the lien holder have to do retract the lien or would it be me. Also what would be the lien holder’s next step be if i dont pay the lien. What he have to take me to court and if he does will it cost me anything? Thank you in advance for your help.
