looking to file a claim was told Public claims get paid first over bonds, need to verify and understand how or why public claims get paid first if they do?
IllinoisWe have filed a lien against a company and are deciding how to proceed, but based on deadlines to enforce a bond claim i need the two questions answered.
MichiganWe are looking to file a claim for non-payment and want to know how our changing project roles affects bond claim rights. We started a public hospital job as a sub for a GC, but mid-project that GC got kicked off the job. We made an agreement with the property owner/public entity to finish the job for them. Now we are trying to collect on both phases of that job via a bond claim. I saw that bond claims aren't available for prime contractors. Can you please weigh in?
Georgia In our contract with them, they are responsible for damaged/missing units and now that we have removed equipment, we are now documenting all damage to our units and the dollar amount owed to us will go up. How does this get handled with ZLEIN. Do I need to do anything other than update the amount? or does new documents need to be sent out? Please advise.

TexasWe are a subcontractor in Texas, hired by GC for a bonded job in Houston, Tx, the December bill has not been paid and missed the March 15th deadline. Is it to late to submit a notice? I also have a January invoice that has not been paid. My boss had me bill out the job 100%, plus CO's, and a separate invoice for retainage for March. Can I send a notice for all outstanding billing, or do I have to send a separate one for each month?
TexasYesterday I asked a question about how to go about trying to get money even though we did not file on the bonding company in time. Thank you for answering.. Now we did file notices on time and we should still be able to claim on the bond even though we did not file in time. So how would we got about doing this? Would we need to get a lawyer to send a letter to the surety company to enforce the claim? We are in Texas and this is a public job on a school. We were hired as the subcontractor.
TexasWe are in Texas, a contractor threw us off a project and will not pay for any materials or labor for the months we worked. This has hurt our company tremendously. We filed notices on a project on time but because of being mislead with a zlien rep we did not file on the bond in time. So my question is, since we filed our notices on time and it got sent to the bonding company are we able to file or do anything to get our money? Would sending a demand letter from an attorney to bonding company help?

Florida15th day of the 3rd Month Notice has been sent to the prime contractor and the governmental entity. I would like to know what additional steps can/need be taken prior to filing a civil suit.
TexasI have someone who I have never had a contract with or got any money from filing against my bond. I don't even know these people from over 3 years ago.
CaliforniaMy understanding is the bond claim was included with the required monthly notice at the same time. I wanted to make sure our bond claim is still valid. This is for my Schertz, TX project.
TexasMy payment is way past due. Subcontractor says they have not been paid yet. How do I have to wait to be paid?
