Mechanics Lien Abuse
Hello, I have had a fraudulent ‘mechanics lien’ applied against my property by a exceptionally dishonest and incompetent contractor. The contractor did not finish work, caused damage of my property and the work that was done is literally falling apart. The contractor refused to respond to any of these issues. Then a ‘mechanics lien’ is placed on my property. I went to my County (Putnam, NY)DRC (Dispute Resolution Office)to try to get an explanation of why I was not able to defend myself before this lien was placed. I was told the best I could do is post a ‘payment into court’, which I did. However, no one could explain to me what the next step is. Under no circumstances should the money paid into court be paid to corrupt contractor. Can you please explain the process I need to follow to protect myself from this corrupt contractor? What happens to the funds I ‘paid into court’? thank you. Jerry B.
