My husband and I own a construction company in ND. We began working on a project for a corporate newspaper owner in Oregon on property in ND. After doing all the leg work for architectural plans and permitting, we received contract approval in late July, but the down payment was not received until late September. We began demolition in October but due to permit issues, we were unable to begin actual construction until November. In early December, we requested additional funding based on job progress and monies already paid out. Three weeks after hearing nothing and attempting multiple contacts via phone and email, we were told that they should have required vendor lien releases from the beginning, which was never even discussed, and are refusing to pay until we obtain lien waiver/releases from all vendors/subcontractors, but they aren't willing to sign them because we are over 70% completion. The owner does not want to pay now. What should we do?

My husband and I purchased an individual insurance plan through BC/BS of TN. I recently tried to log in to our insurance account and have forgotten my user ID. I called BCBS and was told under HIPAA laws, they can only give the user ID to my husband because he is the subscriber. Since I logged in to this account originally, I know the online access shows all EOB's recorded in our joint private insurance account. The insurance company will not give me the USER ID for my account. They say there is only one subscriber per account and it was set up as my husband. Therefore, no one can access the account but him. Can someone please provide an answer or explanation?
