The Guaranty Fund
Massachusetts has a wonderful resource for homeowners who have obtained judgments against contractors. If the contractor does not pay the judgment after the homeowner makes a reasonable effort to collect, or if the contractor flees the jurisdiction or the contractor files for bankruptcy, the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation (OCABR) administers a fund that will pay up to $10,000.00 of the homeowner'(s) damages. The homeowner must apply for the fund within six months of obtaining a judgment. For some homeowners, this will fully satisfy their claim. For others, it will help cover the cost of litigation. Once the money is paid out from the fund, the OCABR goes after the contractor for reimbursement. Check in your state to see if this type of resource is available.

What is considered a reasonable effort to collect?
To be a adroit human being is to from a make of openness to the in the seventh heaven, an skill to group uncertain things beyond your own restrain, that can govern you to be shattered in hugely outermost circumstances pro which you were not to blame. That says something very weighty relating to the prerequisite of the honest life: that it is based on a trust in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a weed than like a sparkler, something fairly fragile, but whose very special attraction is inseparable from that fragility.
In every tom's life, at some pass‚, our inner foment goes out. It is then burst into flame by an face with another benign being. We should all be glad quest of those people who rekindle the inner inclination
