Montana
I built a deck for a woman in Montana. She refused to pay me for additional work she requested, labor and material. She is an angry, condescending, verbally abusive person. She has lectured me, screamed at me, insulted and hurled f bombs every day. She tried to bully inspectors and knows more than everyone. I was ready to let the loss go, not worth the trouble. The job passed inspection 15 days ago. She is sending me angry emails and has accused me or emoyees of stealing a tool. She is demanding $190.00 and is threatening a police report. Im more concerned about thieft accusation than the money owed

MontanaMy roofing contractor cashed my check for more than half of the job on July 23. It is now December 4, and I am trying to get him to finish the final details. The job is full of mistakes, damage, and broken promises. The contractor approached me with a bill for almost $4,000 more than the original contract I signed. It is for stuff that should be inclusive, like drip edge, valley metal, and demolition. He has threatened me with a lien and sprayed me with gravel from his truck and cussed at me. Can he put a lien on my property for more than the signed contract and before the job is finished? I wrote him a letter three weeks ago asking him to finish the job so that I may pay him. He showed up with a padded bill. He has told me in writing that he is not making enough money on my job to make it a priority.
MontanaI am an independent contractor and I have been living in a home free of rent due to the fact that we have a verbal agreement with the landlord that any work we did on our home would be taken off the rent. It was a full remodel and we have worked off about $20,000. Now he is trying to evict us saying we owe him $16,000. Can I file a lien on this amount of work we have done?
MontanaThe two years is almost up.
MontanaI hired a contractor to do a plumbing project, gave him 50% deposit, a little over four grand. Contractor spent less than one day on site, did the rough in and then quit the job. Will not return my the remainder of my retainer. What is the best way for me to a) obtain accounting for the work that was done, and b) Force this contractor to return the balance of the retainer?
MontanaHad someone that was supposed to core some holes on a property. He arrived said we didn't give him accurate information so he didn't bring the correct equipment and then he left never to return. He is not filing an intent to file a lien for the full amount he quoted without performing any work.
He has also said he wants to charge us full travel charges when he was traveling by anyway rather than the additional 20 miles (round trip he incurred).
MontanaWe completed a residential project in July 2020. It did take us longer than expected. We submitted a final invoice and the homeowner refuses to pay. So we started the lien process against his home. Naturally, him and his lawyer are nit picking at everything. Some of it my recordkeeping and filing abilities or lack of.
IIf I have a project that is split into 3. For example, siding, new roof, and repairing the driveway. Is it insurance fraud if I raise the price on one of those three to help pay for the other? And they are using some of my memos on checks to question some expenses. Can they be used in a legal matter?
MontanaI'm a contractor who did work for a client that adds up to 8476 dollars. She is refusing to pay, and the actual home owners didn't know the work was being done. I sent a intent of lien notice to the home owners and to the tenant. I just want to make sure I can indeed file a lien for the amount of 8476

MontanaI had a plumber fix a leak at my rental property in Hamilton. It took 7 trips for him to fix the leak, starting in April and finishing in June. I received my first bill August 1st. The bill is for $2309.71 for a shower leak. I have made multiple calls and was told I can make payments. I said I can do $200 a month. Apparently that is not enough for them and unless I pay in full by tomorrow I can sign a personal loan to the companies accountant at 12% interest and sign over my house as collateral, or they will place a lien against the property. My questions are can they place a lien if I am making payments, and if they place a lien can they force a sale of the property if I am making payments on the bill?

Montana1. Do we legally need to file a preliminary notice, to file an Intent to Lien, prior to filing a lien on a property?
2. What right do we have to lien a property without filing a Preliminary Notice?
4. How long are preliminary notices valid for? We found some information that indicated that the preliminary notices are only valid for one year, and that a continuation notice needed to be filed.
5. On the Levelset website, it mentions that the Montana preliminary notices ‘can be filed late’. What does this mean?
We have the information from the website, but would like additional information.
We do business in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, and New York.
MontanaI filed all paperwork and am seeking to foreclose how do I do this
