What is the name of your state? CA
We recently had problems with the flooring in our house. We pursued it with our builder who was being non-responsive, so we also pursued it with the flooring manufacturer.
After some period of time (and getting the BBB and State License Board involved) we ended up signing a release with the builder releasing them of liability (with a settlement cost). In parallel, we also signed a release with the manufacturer releasing them from liability (also with a settlement cost).
The builder is claiming that the settlement that was sent to us from the manufacturer was supposed to go to them. However, when we contacted the manufacturer, they said they had never heard of the builder and that everything was done as they expected and that the issue is between me and the builder.
Our builder is now threatening us saying that they are going to take legal action. Do they have a legal basis for this?
