How can I  accept money from a contractor and Still sue him for damages?

Yes, I think so.  He needs to put back the cherry trees and do what is was that you originally asked him to do...OR you need to get an estimate of repairs from another contractor and make the first one pay for it.\nTake pictures of what the property looks like now, for proof.  Get enough cash from him before you give back his stuff.  Maybe also report to the police that he has equipment with serial numbers altered.  Possibly they can find out if was stolen.   Be careful, he sounds like a bad guy.

i wouldn't in fact i would go talk to a lawyer. sounds to what he is doing is trying to cover his azz because he knows he caught if u apologize then he knows that u can't sue later on that. because u'll be admitting guilt but u went back yo him then yea he can make u do what ever he wants since he's doing a favor for u buy lrtting u come back but if he came to u first then no he can't

My advice is this, a contract is not going to assure that they pay and yes you will be able to sue in small claims court the the money owed but if you feel that you don't want to deal with all that I have a solution. I happen to be an investor who buys real estate notes which you clearly have. Now I would be willing to cash you out and give a lump sum of cash for your property and you can walk away and not worry about it. durland78@yahoo.com

Call the company that you worked for.  They can resend.

You will have to read your contract very carefully.  In many pre-printed contracts the seller has the right to cancel if the need for repairs exceeds a certain dollar amount.\n\nAs for whether the seller can claim that the conditions could not be repaired, you could counter this by bringing in a contractor who can prepare a detailed estimate listing the work that is required.\n\nIf you are represented by an attorney, speak to them about this immediately.  If you are not represented by an attorney then this would be a good time to find one.

If you hired directly by the contractor (not as a subcontractor but as an employee) then the contractor is required to pay for the injuries. If they contractor did not carry worker's compensation insurance, I would consult with an attorney and find out what rights you have in the state you're in. Good luck!

I wish - but you can never be liable to yourself.  I guess an attorney will take your money to sue yourself, however.....

Yes! You can try waiting, but if they find the error, you will have to repay them. If they really don't like you, they could claim you commited fraud to get the money.

Hi,\n\nI hope you'll listen to this answer because it is grounded in knowledge. Although some have answered that "No. He can't sue." The fact of the matter is anyone can sue anyone, over almost anything. Someone else tried to answer that someone can only sue "a financial burden or emotional burden that's irreversible or irretrievable without the court of law's help." That's not really accurate. What he is sort of describing is a tort, but that still wouldn't be even 75% accurate. Let me explain:\n\nThe two follow-up questions to the simple "Can he sue" are, "Would he win?" and "Is there a basis for the suit?" Let's take the latter first. The basis for the suit is grounded in his belief that you entered into a contract with him. The fact that it is electronic is irrelevant based on Federal Law, so disregard any comments suggesting that the fact that this is online has any bearing. A contract is a contract and you did, in fact, enter into one. Is the contract binding? Generally, yes. By joining eBay you agreed to be bound and by bidding you once again acknowledged the binding nature of your bid, agreeing to buy at a certain price. There was a meeting of the minds and a contract resulted. You may argue that there was no meeting of the minds, but to do so, you would (although there are other ways) probably have to show that you gained some knowledge of the item, after the auction concluded that was not *available* prior to your bid. It could not be something you missed or that was ambiguous, it would have to be actual new knowledge generally. So, YES there is a basis. In fact, it is this very basis on which a service, gaining a lot of popularly, called ReliaBid is based. ReliaBid helps sellers collect on bids, when necessary, through traditional debt collection services.\n\nAs to who would win in a lawsuit: nobody ever knows. However, a few things to consider. Any action for this amount would have to be brought in small claims court. It is highly unlikely that it would be brought. It is not unlikely that if you failed to show up, that a judgment could be entered against you. I doubt that legal fees would be awarded (I even doubt someone would retain or find an attorney to retain) for damages of this amount. It is possible that court fees could be assigned to whoever lost. So, who will win? Hard to say. But more importantly:\n\nOne thing brings me to believe that this person will not bring any action: he claimed his basis for action would be fraud. Your auctions do not constitute fraud. Your actions constitute a breach of contract. Clearly, he has a weak legal background and has not consulted an attorney. I'd guess that he is making idle threats. If he really cared about completing his transactions, he probably would have joined ReliaBid. Folks have taken other folks to court before, but my guess is that it won't happen this time.\n\nI hope this has been informative and left you with some good decision making information.\n\nDISCLAIMER: This information is not meant to constitute legal advice does not constitute legal advice or legal opinions and should not be used as a substitute for obtaining legal advice from an attorney licensed or authorized to practice in your jurisdiction.

If you have the contract and the deposit ticket you can sui them, but sometimes it will cost you more depending on the lawyer and the time, but you'll finally get your money back. If the deposit is less than you could invert in time and lawyers, just forget about it, though if you want to teach them a lesson, they should build your house for free!

You can either write a letter to the person staing all the fee's owed and say that you have submitted a copy of this letter to an attorney for small claims, a good scare should get them to take you seriously. You should know that when you give a person money you shouldn't expect it back unless it was in writing and signed.

You can sue them for violating their contract in order to force them to follow the bylaws, but you would need to prove that there was damage and what exactly it was (not necesarily in a quantity of money) in order to receive any payment.

You were supposed to have him sign off of the lien when you paid him "release of lien form".  If you paid him by check, cancel the check and get your money back - that will get his attention, and then do it right, paying with release of lien.\n\nIf he says he's done, create a list of uncompleted work, and submit it to him via registered mail, and threaten to sue him.
