Having not received payment for the services furnished to your construction project located at _______________, our company filed a mechanics lien against the property. Attempts to collect this debt from relevant parties following this filing has thus far failed.
Please be advised that our company intends to proceed with foreclosure of this claim if payment is not arranged within the next seven (7) days. At the end of any such action to foreclosure, a judgment may be rendered against the property in the amount of our mechanics lien claim plus attorneys fees, costs and interest, and the property may be sold to satisfy our claim.
