Asphalt Supplier Stiffed By Contractor Slaps Lien On Paid-Up Homeowner

In Gresham, Oregon, KGW-TV Channel 8 reports:

• [A] local paving company has been hurting consumers because it's not paying bills. [Brian] Lee is one of those consumers. He was actually happy with asphalt work done by Gresham Paving at a duplex he owns, a job for which he paid $5,400 up front.

• Several weeks later, Lee started getting a series of lien notices from Knife River, the supplier of the asphalt. Gresham Paving didn't pay its asphalt bill so now Knife River has slapped a lien on Lees’ property.

***

• Officials with Knife River told KGW Gresham Paving owed them thousands of dollars. [...] For his part, Lee understands times are tough, but said it was ridiculous that he could be forced to pay twice.
