Contractor or Vendor Small Claim Preparation: Unfinished or Defective Work
Prepare a claim about work not done or done badly.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Prepare my claim against a contractor or vendor. What was agreed and the price: [AGREEMENT_AND_PRICE]. What I paid and when: [PAYMENTS]. What was done and what was not: [WORK_DONE_AND_NOT]. Quotes to fix or finish: [REPAIR_QUOTES]. What I did to resolve it: [RESOLUTION_ATTEMPTS]. Build: a timeline; a table of defects (item, evidence, cost to fix with a quote reference); a calculation of loss (paid minus value of work done, plus reasonable cost to complete or fix, with arithmetic and without double counting); an exhibit index; a one-page statement; and a list of the contractor's likely replies (extra work was requested, the weather, the client did not allow access, the work was to standard) with questions to test each. Suggest getting an independent assessment and note that a claim may need to show I gave the contractor a chance to fix [VERIFY]. This is preparation help and not legal advice. This is not legal advice. Invent no law, deadline or odds. Use [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] as given. Remind me to verify the rules. Promise no result.
