Can A Material Supplier Serve a Notice of Nonpayment on A Contractor Not in Privity with the Owner?
We are a Florida contractor who performed work on a property owned by a municipal corporation organized under the laws of the State of Florida. We have received a notice of nonpayment from a material supplier, under an order given by one of our subcontractors. However, this subcontractor did not supply any materials under our contract. The subcontractor did supply materials directly for the owner, the municipality. How do I handle this notice of nonpayment? Do I need to do anything since the property is not subject to a lien under the provisions of Section 713.01(23), Florida Statutes?
How can a subcontractor get paid for work performed at the request of another contractor?
I am a sub-contractor working in GEORGIA. I did work for a inc. who had a contract to do work for a company representing hud. I completed the work. I have paper work and photos to prove it was done. I invoiced them for work completed 90 days ago. They will not pay and now will not return my calls. What can I do to be paid for work completed for this inc? They said at one time they had not been paid yet and I would have to wait. But that was at 45 days. I am at 90 now with no response from them. Can you help with info? Thank you.
What do I do if the contractor in Washington files an invalid lien?
A contractor who is not licensed, filed a lien on property we (a trust) received back after we had sold the property on a land contract. The property was sold again, but the title co. to get the lien off put money in escrow. Now the money is tied up and this contractor who was hired by the owner of the land contract wants money. Is there an easy way to release this money being held, since the original lien was not valid? Do we have to file a lawsuit in order to release this money? I think this contractor is very shady. He is not licensed in Michigan, plus he says he wants to meet with us to talk, tells us we owe him $10,000 but fails to give us an invoice (the former owner says he was paid for the work he did) but continues to have secret meetings with this contractor. It appears they may be trying to work against us. I feel there must be a way to get this settled quickly. Please Advise.
