Failure to provide a preliminary 20 day notice may make one unable to properly record or foreclose on a lien, but it doesn't change the fact that one is owed money.

You can sue someone for failure to pay even if no lien was recorded.

Your recourse now is to sue. By failing to take proper action, you only lost your ability to lien the property and require payment before it could be sold.
