California
About a year ago, I sued a painter in small claims court for poor workmanship, damage to property and abandoning the job. When they served him the summons, he went right down and put a lien on my home for more money than the job would have been if he had finished it. I won the case and all the money I gave him was paid back to me by his bonding company. My problem is, the lien which was illegal in the first place is still on my home. It is going against my credit and I cant sell my home because he will get money he isnt entitled to. What can I do? Can I go to small claims, or is there another way to go.
Thank you
