Lien Foreclosure
All States
We have a lien filed on our property of which the filer requested arbitration. Does this satisfy the requirement of enforcing the lien within the 90 days?
CaliforniaI filed a mechanics lien on house in GA for work that myself and my girlfriend did. The owner paid us 9000 out of 25000, do we are still owed 16000. After lien was filed, two weeks later the house was sold and we didn't get rest of money. He is coming up with lies just so he can try to get away from not paying us. A demand letter was sent on our behalf with little response. We are at a stand still, we don't know what step to take next.

ColoradoHello, we'd like to have more details on what can we do - as an architect directly hired by the residential home owner - if we are still not paid after filing a Mechanic's Lien.
Thank you.
CaliforniaThe GC just told me he would give me $4000+ less than what is owed. He said take it or he would "bond out" and give me nothing. My account is under Dallas Curb Appeal inc. According to the your representative, you guys have it as a commercial property and not as a city project, where as he might not have the option to "bond out". I need to know if this is true or not; in order to figure out if I want to accept it or not. I rather tell him to eat shit and die and that I will file foreclosure instead. But I am not sure what that really means. Is that something they care about if they do not plan to sell the property. And if I foreclose how much can i expect to recover.
TexasWe're nearing the end of the timeframe on our lein. The homeowner made two payments in the last six months. One for $1,000 and one for $500. They owe another $7500 on this one. They've said they'll pay $3,000 today and would like to agree on a payment plan for the remaining balance. Anything beyond this month is out of our traditional lien rights and timeframe. What can I do to extend the lien and help maintain that level of protection? Should I accept the payment plan?
IdahoWe 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?
IllinoisA lien I filed against a customer's property is about to expire and I'm being told I have to file a lawsuit or foreclose on it? Am I not able to "renew" the lien? How/what does "foreclose" on the lien mean? Is this mechanics liens only or all liens in Oklahoma?
OklahomaFiled zlien a few months ago, haven't heard from the 3 parties involved.
MassachusettsI FILED MECHANICS LIEN 6/12/18 AND NEED TO PERFECT
CaliforniaHave filed lien, to no avail. I have filed 'notice of intent to foreclose', again - to no avail.
CaliforniaCustomer pretty belligerent. Has not responded to demand payment in registered letter. He seems to be a serial abuser of contractors. Never wanted to call former contractors to "fix" problems. Always tried to get our company to fix things "in addition to" originally requested scope of work. It got to be a series of verbal change orders that he resisted paying. When we complained about deteriorating communications, offered to wrap up current work and terminate the relationship, the customer immediately got vindictive.
North CarolinaI have filed a lien on property the person has not reached out to pay.
