question iconHI there, I had entered into an agreement for a contractor to do some work on my house here in Colorado. We agreed to a 50% deposit $2,500, and that was paid on Feb 26th. He has since moved to AZ and has not started any of the work. After numerous attempts to contact him, he called back last week and agreed to refund me the $2,500 and said it would be paid by Monday (June 30th). He never paid, and has now discontinued his mobile phone so there is no way for us to reach him. How can we go about getting our $2,500 back?

Do you have legal recourse here? Yes, a violation of the Colo Trust Fund Act carries very stiff penalties for the contractor/violator. Because the contractor is now no longer in CO does complicate the matter. And, collectability can be problematic. I recommend that you discuss these issues in a one on one case assessment with our real estate/litigation attorneys. Just call 303-688-0944 (24/7) or schedule online at robandhen.wpengine.com/loations. At your appointment, we'll meet via telephone or video (Zoom) we'll discuss your rights, remedies, risks, the law, the process, timeline, how we can help, costs, etc.
