Post: Business Leins

Posted by Jim Miner on 4/08/04
I have small business in NY State. I buy my products from a company in VT. There was a company that I used to buy all of my product from but they had severe management issues and I stopped doing business with them. We had a few outstanding items. I owe them a little money, but they say that I owe more than I do, their records are incorrect. They say they have sent everything to an attorney in NY to place a lein on my business. What does that mean. Will it be against my bank accounts or what? I do want to pay them the amount that I owe (around $800.00) but not until they acknowledge that the other amount (about $1200.00) is incorrect.(they are charging me for orders that we cancelled during their crisis & for one peice that was loaned to me this until this Spring - which I intend to return)(None of this is in writing however, I do have the invoices from the new company that provided me with the peices that were previously ordered from them) Mostly my question is what is a business lein and how do I fight against it, will I be notified by someone and given a chance to tell my side?
