Foreclosure related to a construction lien
Help...
We sustained severe tree damage from an ice storm last December. We hired a tree service to take out several trees. We paid this service half of the money before the job and the remainder after the completion of the project. This tree service sub-contracted a large truck to use to take out our trees and never paid the company for the use of the truck. That company has now placed a lien for $2300 on our home and as of yesterday sent a certified letter that if we did not pay the $2300 they were going to start foreclosure on our home. The tree service has since declared bankruptcy so the truck company can't go after them for the money. My questions are:
1. Is the use of the truck covered under a construction lien?
2. If we pay off our house in full can they still force foreclosure?
3. Does the company not get a tax break for bad debt
4. Any other thoughts?
