<p class="MsoNormal">Listmates, I have proceeded against countless contactor bonds over the years but this is a first. The contractor admits he is liable to the client, even signed a document saying so. We want to go after the bond to at least get the 12k.
Would you suggest calling the bonding company or will they only deal with it when an official suit is commenced? If the contractor stipulates to judgment does that impair the ability to get the bond or somehow give them a defense? Thanks in advance! Craig
