I have received notice on my home from levelset stating that a man who quit my house remodel early and demanding payment on the work that was not able to be finished by my new contractor due to all of the work being done wrong. Come to find out the man is not even licensed, has threatened harm to my family for not paying and is also a level 3 sex offender who has been deemed a high risk to reoffend due to his several convictions and unwillingness to be rehabilitated. I went to go file a claim with labor and industries with his bond company. He is not licensed under the business he gave me and not licensed under the name he put on the levelset paperwork I received as well.
I need advice. This is wrong on every level and now levelset is assisting someone who on every moral code and ethically has done wrong and is still getting away with it
Washingtonwhere do I get the form to file a contractor lien in Hillsborough County? I could not find on clerks office web.
FloridaWe are a roofing company and put on a roof for a customer that was being covered by his insurance agency. This was all under contract. During the process of the sub contractors putting on the roof, he asked our Project manager and the roofing crew to complete another area of the roof.
He misread his coverage by the insurance company and asked us, verbally, to do more than was going to be covered. So now he is refusing to pay the remaining $5900 for the additional section.
As the new office manager, I want to know what the best approach is for me to take.
OhioI have been setting forms and pouring concrete at an Apartment building for the past 45 days. I have not received a check in 3 weeks and wanted to put a lien on the property because the GC hasn’t paid me and I see no intent. Can I do anything
Texaswhy are credit card company's can charge people in North Carolina 24% for credit interest on those loans. Why cant contractors charge a client 24% late fees or 2% per month.
As a Commercial Fit up GC we already have to finance labor and cost for up to 60 days with a 30 day pay term as we have the work in place prior to billing of work that was done up to 30 days prior to billing, then we are forced to wait another 30 days for the clients to process the payments or longer. but 30 is industry standard for the most part which many try to go 60 day terms but I simply close the door on the 60 day payers now as its to much of a burden to carry.
If we agree to the 30 day terms which is a loan for those 30 days, why are we limited in late fees which are really interest fees. and our fees are less amounts than the credit card industry ?
Do we need to reword it something different than a late fee? should we call it a loan transfer when it goes past 30 days to make it legal to get 2% per month prorated to days etc..?
Is it actually illegal to charge 1.5% late fees per month, I assume which is prorated by the number of days in that calendar month to get the actual late fee total. Or is the law based on assuming this 1.5% will be the entire 1.5% if the client is 1 day late ?
I appoligize if I am not clear and thank you for any input.
North CarolinaHi
I have recently have done a clean-out job on a property here in Kansas city Missouri but i am a individual not a business owner and i am wondering what kind of lien i can place on the property i have done work at because the person is refusing to pay me what they owe.
MissouriI would like an consultation.
AlabamaIf I record a notice of action with the city, that extends the time that I can file a civil lawsuit if I am not paid as agreed correct? Or Do I have to file with the courts anyways? Thank you
CaliforniaCan a contractor file a lien even before he has requested payment? We had a septic system installed 10/9/19 and 10/10/19. No bill was presented. A lien was filed 10/11/19 at 8:38 am. We feel we were not given a chance to pay. We thought a lien could be placed only if payment was not made within 30 days.
North CarolinaI have sent NOI. No response.
Do I send Invoice reminders next?

OklahomaI lent someone 10,000 cash for Real Estate Investing and he invested the money but my name has not been included in any of the deals, and owes me the cash back.
He owns property and I would like to file a Lien on the properties, which he now has in foreclosure. The 30 day rule exists and I have 5 days to file the lien.
Do I have a case?
FloridaThe owner hired me to do architectural plans for a house she bought - included extensive remodeling and additions. We have a simple contract. We got retainer/deposits in January and commenced work with scans and as-built plans, CAD drawings (using 3D software) and then a series of schematic studies. She brought in an interiors person (actually an IKEA specialist) - even though I had an associate interior designer working on it. Every time we met she had changed her mind on things - which is fine, just made it challenging to satisfy her stated and desired fast pace. After 6 months and several versions, she stopped communicating, then finally stated she had run into another architect and was working with her. I said that was fine but she needed to square up with us - then we could provide all the CAD files and go our separate ways. In early July, I provided an invoice for some $3K worth of services (in addition to the deposit received that covered my time and that of my interiors person and CAD tech) and 4 days later emailed to ask when I might expect payment as I needed to plan finances. Terms per contract are "payable upon presentation of invoice". She wrote back telling she thought it was weird that I wanted to be "paid immediately" after 6 months of no billing. Anyway - communication has been non existing since then, and continued Emails and calls (all polite and professional) have gone unanswered. I ran into her at a function - she said she didn't know who I was (then suddenly remembered) and mentioned she would take care of the bill. I followed up with another Email and - nothing. About 2 weeks ago I sent an Email reminder that our agreement also states a 1.5% per month late fee which I would waive if she paid in 10 days. That passed.
So - I need to know my options. We started in January, I billed in July, it's now October...
I should mention that she is a retired attorney for the State of CA - so she probably knows what she's doing which is what concerns me. I'd rather not have to resort to Small Claims court, which might be my only option. I did not file a preliminary notice.
CaliforniaWe did a chimney job for a customer back on 3/15/19. We to date have not been paid and have sent several notices of overdue on the invoices. Is it too late to file a Mechanic Lien now? Should we just go through the court system?
MassachusettsHello Am a small certified WBE/DBE NY/NJ. I completed a perimeter security and server room monitoring project for Mega Aid pharmaceuticals a private company occupying the Brooklyn Battery Terminal Building . The Mega Aid General Council attorney agreed in writing that I come in, do the "punchlist" and I would get paid 10K that day and then 10K 30 days there after (they owe me $25838.22) When I went in to complete punchlist, on July 24th 2019 after 3 months of trying; which I did complete ; the owner was not there to provide a check. In addition there was a "new" general council . My punchlist day was July 24th 2019.
