What can I do about a lien from a subcontractor after paying my contractor?
We had a riding arena built on our property. The job was completed and we paid the contractor in full. It turns out the contractor has now filed for bankruptcy and he did not pay one of his subs in full. Now I have a lien against my property and the sub is asking for the $14,000 the contractor owes. What can I do? I have a signed contract signed by the contractor stating all his subs have been paid in full.
Can my contractor file a lien after the job is done?
