Today was a day I never thought would come. Our attorney had the Section 35 letter ready to be sent to the former contractor's girlfriend, since she is the one that put the lien on the property since the contractor put all bills in her name. When she was served the Section 34 letter she failed to enforce the lien by filing suit, which makes the lien null and void. BUT she also needs to remove the lien. If she doesn't, we file the Section 25 which allows us to file suit for $2,500 plus legal fees, court cost and get a court order to have the lien removed.
Let me start by saying, we took a huge hit with the former contractor. At the same time, we really just want to put the situation behind us and not have to deal with him/them anymore. I really wanted the lien to just be removed. Well, the attorney had me go to the recorders office over lunch today and I was in total shock. On Thursday January 20th, she released the lien. WOOOO HOOOO!!!! This is the most exciting day I've had in a LONG time. Free at last!
