we are a sub contractor and have yet to be paid for work which is now 85% complete. we have sent invoices which they have, but they keep telling us they havent been paid by the owner so they cant pay us...they are 90 days late...the contract says they have 10 days after receipt from owner to pay...i read somewhere that they cant wait to be paid to pay the sub...is that true?

Re: progress payments

File your Mechanic's Lien. Hopefully you did a 20 Day Prelim, but it is not fatal if you have not.

Let the general know that you also are considering exercising your option of filing a stop notice with your city. This will cause a freeze on all work.

Sometimes hard-ball is the only way to play. If the general wants to get the job done, he can cough the money out of his own pocket and recoup it when he receives his progress payment.

Please feel free to let me know if you need additional assistance. You can learn more about our firm on our main site No-Probate.com. We also handle employment issues under RulesOfEmployment.com and collection matters under CVFinancialGroup.com.

I can be reached at any of those sites as well as at the contact info provided by LawGuru.
