I had work done on my house by a contractor , this was finished about a year ago.
Last week i received an email from one of his sub contractors that one of his invoices to the contractor was still unpaid and he demands that I pay the invoice .
Do I have any liability for this ?
Alex Watts :

Hello my name is ***** ***** I will help you with this.

Alex Watts :

For now please can you confirm that your contract and who you instructed was only ever the main contract, not the subcontractor?

Customer:

yes

Alex Watts :

Ok in that case your contract was with the main contract.

Alex Watts :

The sub contractors contract is with the main contractor (if you follow)

Alex Watts :

As such you have no liability whatsoever to the sub contractor

Customer:

ok

Alex Watts :

You can ignore the letter or simply write back and say take it up with the main contractor as you are not liable

Alex Watts :
