Contractor Is In Jail, Has My Deposit
Location: kansas, USA
Hello. I was wondering what my options are to get my deposit back from a contractor.
I hired a licensed contractor to build me a deck back in July 2026. I had to put down 60% of the cost to cover material and beginning of the labor. He originally was going to start work at the end of July. Long story short he then started pushing me out further and further until on 26 August I demanded a start date and then he said 10 days. Well on 9 September I was trying to call, email, text, etc. No answer. I found out he was arrested on 5 September and is still in jail. I went ahead and filed a dispute with my credit card company but something tells me there is no money in his account to recoup the substantial amount I paid.
What are my options if the dispute does not pan out? Kansas does have small claims up to 10k so I think i can go after his LLC? I paid a $6,000.00 deposit.
Thank you for any insights you can provide.
