EFI Solutions has a direct contract with a General Contractor on a project in Glenwood, WV. We are having difficulty collecting the remaining balance even though EFI has completed our scope of work. Our last performed labor on our scope of work was in September and our lien rights have expired. However, there is a COMM issue related to the specially fabricated station. This issue is not at the fault of EFI, but we are working with them to get it resolved. Due to the large balance remaining ($74K), the officers of our company are getting nervous. They have asked that I determine when our deadline is for filing a claim on the bond. We have inquired directly with the Surety, who told us to seek legal counsel on the exact deadlines. I have attached a copy of the payment bond to the project in Levelset, as well as the email from the Surety. My question: are you able to determine how many days we have left to file a bond claim, or how many days have passed since this expiration? ...Read More

A Homeowner received damaged to his roof from a storm. The insurance provider sent an adjuster out to access the damage & met with an contractor to who the homeowner hired.
A contract was presented to the insurance company with an itemized bill from the contractor & all was agreed upon.
The insurance company forwarded the check for the repair to the homeowner & was told the homeowner had to sign it & forward it on to the mortgage lender(Ditech).
The contractor proceeded to complete the work in a timely manner using his own funds for supplies.
The homeowner is the responsible party for paying the contractor, but has not received the check back from the mortgage company as they are sitting on it for some reason?
It has been over 40 days now with no payment.
The contractor has placed a "Mechanics Lien" on the property.
Why is the mortgage company holding this payment up???
Thank you!!!
