My contractor has stopped showing up for work, and his license has been suspended for support payments.
I hired a contractor in december 2014, for a house remodel/addition in san jose, CA. As per the contract I was to make 6 bi-weekly payments towards the contract of $76,000.
The work was to be completed in 12 weeks from the permit date. It's almost 12 weeks, and I have paid the guy $60K, but the work is not even 50% complete. I have been going to the job site every day, and no one shows up for work. I have seen his guys work there 1 day in the last 2 weeks.
The contractor does not return my calls, and only texts back saying his guys will be there the following day.
I have also found out that his license had been suspended due to family support, on Feb 27, 2015.
Per the following link: ( http://porterlaw.com/contractor_lacking_license.htm ) Is is possible to recover my payments ?

If the license was suspended, you may, under the Business and Professions Code, seek a refund of all monies paid. You would file suit, then seek a prejudgment writ of attachment. You would hope that there are recoverable assets and you may have to post a bond.
