What should I do if I hired a contractor without a written agreement and his charges came back very excessive?

Answered by attorney Edward M Olson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Olson Law Firm
It would be illegal for the builder to place a lien on a residential structure without a written contract for the work to be done. That is not to say that he WILL NOT place a lien... only that it would be illegal for him to do so. You need to contact an attorney right away. If he completed the "contract" between you.. then he is entitled to be paid under the contract. If he is asking for a higher number, the burden is on the contractor to prove that, either you agreed to the higher number (a "change order") or that he is seeking the reasonable value of the services provided... without a contract. Also, residential contractors are under special requirements regarding licensing, paperwork, and the handling of funds. You may have other claims that you can raise against this contractor. Call an attorney today.

You must include every debt you have in any bankruptcy, but you have not provided enough information for me to say whether this debt would be eligible to be discharged in either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.

Very difficul., Depends if the debtor company has any assets or fraudulently transferred assets. Was this an investment or loan? I assume a loan. Any security agreement?
