ALLIANCE RESIDENTIAL MANAGEMENT HIRED ME TO DO THIER DRYWALL AND PAINTING IN RALEIGH, NC ON 3 APARTMENT COMPLEXES. THE DISTRICT MANTANANCE PERSON LIKED MY WORK SO MUCH HE GOT ME TO DO WORK IN RICHMOND AND 3 MORE COMPLEXES AS WELL. I STARTED WORK IN SEPTEMBER, 2003 AND HAVE DONE ABOUT $55,000 WORTH OF WORK, AS OF NOW I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY MONEY.
I KNOW LARGE COMPANIES TAKE THERE TIME PAYING PEOPLE BUT I HAVE OVER $7000.00 PAST 90 DAYS AND I AM A SMALL BISNESS AND CAN NOT AFFORD THIS. I HAVE ALSO TALKED TO 3 OTHER COMPANIES WHO HAVE OVER $10,000 EACH(MAYBE MUCH MORE) IN OUTSTANDING SINCE APRIL OF THIS YEAR. I HAVE HIRED NEW EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE QUIT THERE JOBS TO COME TO WORK FOR ME AND IF I DO NOT GET PAYMENT VERY, VERY SOON I WILL HAVE TO LET THEM GO. THESE PEOPLE HAVE FAMILIES AND MAYBE JOBLESS SOON. ALLIANCE IS A VERY LARGE COMPANY WITH WELL OVER 50,000 APARTMENTS, I HAVE HERD AS MANY AS 63,000 AND THEY PLAN TO PUCHASE 15 MORE PROPERTIES AND I WONDER IF MY MONEY AND THE OTHERS IS THEIR DOWNPAYMENT.
I HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE WITH THEM AND HAVE HEARD LOTS OF ANSWERS, "THE CHECK IS IN THE MAIL" WAS OF COURSE ONE, THEY ARE REFINANCING, I WILL BE PAID BY THE END OF THE YEAR, I THEY JUST DID NOT KNOW WHY I HAD NOT BEEN PAID YET. AND IF I DO NOT GET PAID SOON I MAY HAVE TO SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AFTER 10 YEARS.

I worked for Alliance on the property level for 3 and a half years. It seemed to be common practice for invoices to be held well over 90 days. We were forever getting cut off by vendors because of non-payment. Heck, I walked into the office one morning to find we had NO PHONE SERVICE! The water meter for the irrigation system was yanked out by the water company due to nonpayment. It was a real headache for us on the property level to have corporate screaming at us to LEASE LEASE LEASE, but then not be able to get the apartments ready for move-in because of lack of vendors willing to come out due to non-payment. We also felt really bad because we usually knew the local vendors on a personal level and knew they had kids at home needing clothes and food, etc. And there was nothing we could do. We were told to lie and tell the vendors a check had been cut or that they would be on the next check run to hold the vendor off. We were not allowed to give accounting's phone number to vendors. And yes, we were always being told that the property was being refinanced. In 3 years, the two properties I worked on were refinanced several times. We would be told that they were going to use the money to improve this or that on the properties and all the vendors would be paid off. For about one month after each refinance, things were calm and running smoothly, but we hardly ever saw the improvements promised and the vendors would soon be hounding us for payment again. It was unwritten company police to pay no sooner than 60 days, although the vendor contracts said 30. The day I walked in to find an email saying we needed to spend the weekend pounding on doors to collect rent money or else there wouldn't be enough money for our payroll checks was the last straw.

Mechanic's Lien, force the owners of the property to pay you
#6Consumer Suggestion
Thu, December 18, 2003
In most states, if a contractor isn't paid for work done according to the contract a mechanic's lien can be filed. This will force the owners of the property to pay you, if they still don't then they can be forced to sell the property and you get paid from the proceeds. The process isn't that complicated, but considering the amount of money involved it would be worthwhile to hire a lawyer who is familiar with the process. Time deadlines can be tight; get started now.
