We 're a Manufacturer supplier, and supplied material to a DBE company that supplied material to a sub-contractor. The DBE company had filed for Bankruptcy Chapter 11. The material was shipped on 9/30/2021. (This is for a Illinois state Tollway job.) We did file a Bond Claim. I'm not sure how to proceed....Read More
My car was towed after my son was in an accident. Metamora Motors will not let us obtain our personal belongings in the car without paying a whooping 300$ for towing. Is this legal since the insurance settles?...Read More
I have a question regarding the Prime's delay in submitting a subcontractor's invoices to a vendor for payment. My business provided work for a Prime contractor. They are now rejecting invoices that are over 1 year old, even though we submitted these invoices in a timely fashion. Is there any requirement for a Prime to submit all invoices for service provided within a certain time frame? Or can a Prime hold onto a subcontractor's invoices, without submitting them to the state, for an indefinite period of time? TIA...Read More
We are material suppliers in MO, supplying material to a Bonded job in Illinois. I know we normally have 90 days to file against a bond, but this job is well past that point and with only having retainage left, the GC is now filing a lawsuit against the owner. It is well past the 6 months as well, do we have any other recourse?...Read More
I am the owner whom had fire claim with the insurance. We used their preferred vendors for the entire process. The restoration of our home went 5 months over our relocation budget, was not to specifications we requested, unfinished in some areas and have had to be repaired in several places. The contractor 's made a offer but said since they passed inspection they weren't responsible. We have had to make an additional claim within a year of their inspected construction for a pipe burst in the kitchen of the property because of inadequate insulation. How can we recover the necessary funds to repair and finish the original and requested scope of work?...Read More

Hired a licensed, bonded and insured contractor in Illinois to replace the roof on my house and garage. Had damage on the house from broken siding, broken gates tar on deck and siding, trampled and ruined plants. Also very sloppy workmanship... shingling over a hole in the roof, improper drip edge, waste of numerous supplies. To top things off the crew was drinking on the job and cat calling my 17 year old daughter saying “I’d like to “#%$&” that pretty little white thing”. When brought to the contractors attention he did fix a few things to try and appease me. Refused to offer or fix the plants and landscape, and refused to acknowledge any wrong doing with the drinking and cat calling, saying “boys will be boys”, and demanded final payment. I did make the final payment regrettably, in fear of 24% compounded late fees. What recourse to I have with a unsatisfied job?...Read More
Good afternoon. I have a few questions please.
1. I am looking to see if a material supplier on a public job will have rights to claim against a payment bond.
2. Our company is currently using LevelSet and I would like to know if there is an area in the platform that explains these rights for jobs in Puerto Rico.
3. What statute would lien rights in Puerto Rico be located?
4. Are you aware of any other websites where I can obtain information regarding lien/bond rights in Puerto Rico.
Thank you,
Patricia Uddo...Read More
We filed a lien on a public project. The contractor who hired my company as an installing supplier of product on site did not pay us. (20k) We were contacted by the Library and told they paid the contractor in full and we need to go after them. My company never supplied any waivers stating we were paid for the project. So as far as I am concerned they are liable to pay me,...Read More
I emailed a bond claim to a bonding company on a public job. They replied they received the claim and would be sending proof of claim information. Do I also need to mail out a notice of bond claim to all parties involved?...Read More
Question 1 situation: We are leasing equipment to a company out of IL but they are doing the actual work in CT-- who's laws do we have to follow when getting the Bond Claim and/ Public Claim?
Question 2 situation: Same company as in questions 1, based on IL public claims we have 90 days to file public claim and then to enforce however the project started on 3/25/19 but will be about a year to complete so they will need our equipment the whole time -- if it goes over there will be more charges so it is impossible for us to enforce a public claim if it's based on the drop date of the equipment since in 90 days they would not really even begin the project and based on the lease barley even invoiced at that point.. Or is it based off of the last date the equipment was used -- that would cover the duration of the project....Read More

We have filed a lien on a project and the General Contractor bonded over our lien. Is our only option at this point to file the lawsuit? Can the owner of the property turn his construction loan into an end loan if the lien is bonded over?...Read More
