We are a property preservation company in Boise Idaho recently contracted with Sentinel Field Services of Layton Utah to secure, winterize or otherwise service repossessed properties owned by GMAC/Homecomings Financial. We were refused payment (see Sentinel Field Services report) on 7 completed work orders after stopping all work activity because of repeated short settlements from Sentinel. They claim the "bank" won't pay. I have no way of knowing who won't pay. Ultimately it's GMAC as the owner of the property in question according to Idaho law.
We then filed workman's liens on all properties on which preservation work was performed with one 2 days before scheduled closing. First American Title company in Boise, Idaho handled the closing but ignored the lien claiming the lien was inconsequential and would not cloud the title nor stop the sale of the house although the new owner has paid for title insurance guaranteeing a clear title. The answer from GMAC Real Estate was the "GMAC does not respond to such liens"
To date GMAC or Sentinel Field Services owes over $5800 in unpaid invoices, collection costs, attorney fees, etc. As well as First American Title Owes $950 for the ignored lien on a closed property and at least a reprimand from the State of Idaho for illegal business practices. Thank you.
