I dont like intervention from the gubment But these situations are not uncommon, There should be consumer recourse to get made whole in a timely fashion, even if that means accountability to the entity hiring the contractor, as they are there as a representative of that company, at the same time there should be a simplified mechanism for the primary company to recoup the costs associated directly from the contracting company, but the consumer protection and recourse should be a priority. It shouldnt be a hoop jumping fest for the consumer either. Even if it means something as simple as if you have easement access, youre bound to a 14 day compensation window to compensate the consumer, at which point its up to the company to recoup those costs either through a suit against the contractor, or in a suit against the consumer. It shouldnt be the other way around where all burdens fall on the consumer
