how do i put a lean on property where the owner owes me mone

that's a perfect small claims court scenario. you've got some sort of evidence that you were asked to perform a service, and if you've got any semblance of established prices for the work you performed, you ought to have a pretty good case for winning in court.

you'll need to send (certified mail) a demand letter to your debtor, allowing 10, 14, 15, 30 or however many days you feel is adequate for them to perform and pay you your fee. in that letter, you will indicate that non-payment will result in the bringing of a lawsuit. many times that will cause someone to pony up and pay the bill.

check with your local court system to find out how to sue in small claims - it's easy and you don't need a lawyer. if your time period elapses, don't delay in filing your claim. make sure you have sufficient evidence to prove what you claim and you'll win.

this customer refuse to pay,and we are wondering if there is a due date after the invoice is issue to be able to claim the payment, or if we can do it even after many months

cristina, you ought to put a specific date on your invoice so that you can jump in and take action right away in the event of non-payment.

i guess that's not there now, so what you've got available to do is to write a demand letter to your client, stipulating that you will allow a certain number of days for that client to pay the bill that's due, or you'll bring suit against them. Assuming it's a nominal amount, you can bring suit by yourself in small claims court in your area. Their filing fees are nominal, and you'll be awarded those fees back if and when you obtain a judgment in your favor. give a couple of weeks at least, or a month at most, in your demand letter.

The owed is back child support from a dead beat dad that owes me over $142,000 dollars and going through support kids they want 38% of what is collected! so putting lean on some property that my x inherited would be the next way to go about having some sort of compensation! I am done being nice

Hi Guest,

You can put a lien on a property owned by your ex-husband if he owes you back child support. You will have to go to the divorce court and get a judgment against your ex-husband. However, before doing so, you need to make sure if he really own the property. In some cases the state laws, like in Iowa, do not allow you to put lien on your ex-spouse's property if he/she owns it in joint tenancy along with some other person. You can check your state laws with a family law attorney before putting a lien on your ex's inherited property.

i moved in a house lease with option to buy i was renting for 4 months first when i moved in and had utilities turned on all the plumbing had been cut out from under the house ipayed plumber to repair it the landlord turned it n to his insurance,collected the claim and refusses to reimburse me.

Tina, did you have an agreement with the landlord to have this work done? If not, you might be out of luck. One of the methods by which you can settle this situation is to seek out the assistance of small claims court. Of course, that will depend on the amount of money involved also. If your out-of-pocket expense exceeds small claims limits, you'd be required to use a different court to recover your money. Check with small claims court first, and check with your state's attorney general as well, to determine how best to handle this loss.

I hope you had some sort of agreement to begin with about the repairs.

Party is applying for a reverse mortgage if I place a lean on the property will the reverse mortgage be granted??? State of Pennsylvania

Hi Guest,

The reverse mortgage lender will ask the senior homeowner to pay off the liens and then apply for the loan. If the lien remains on the property, then the lender will not be ready to give a loan.

Thanks,

Jerry

There's another scenario here, too, Jerry. Lenders always require that a lien be paid off in order for their mortgage to take place. Payoff of this particular lien could happen simultaneously with the closing of this new reverse mortgage. For those with a lack of funds, this is the method they'd use.

I'm a sub contractor, I did a tile job in a restaurant and know the guy that hired me to do the job doesn't want to pay me, what do I need to do.

Hi Javier!

Welcome to forums!

If you've a contract with the restaurant owner regarding the contract job, then you will be able to place a lien in order to recover your dues. You need to contact an attorney and check out what steps you need to take in this regard.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
