Thanks LastChance. We didn't plan on paying a thing, we were going to contact people first thing Monday. There was nothing filed on the public records as of now. I really appreciate your help.
You are welcome. The FS that deals with leins is
713. It can be found by going to www.myflorida.com. I think there is a view laws and statutes section.
I am assuming that you did not have a direct contract with whoever put your tarps on. The ACE would have contracted that work out and ACE would have paid those contractors and subcontractors. Here is a list of some agencies and departments you might find helpful
Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation/ contractor licensing division. Issues licenses to and regulates state certified contractors.
Florida Secretary of State. Division of Corporations.
You can see if a company is incorporated in Florida or if a fictious name exists for a company.
Code of Federal Regulations. You can find this by doing a web search. The act the letter cites would be in the CFR if such an act exists.
Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. They handle fraud complaints.
Hope some of this helps.
