In case of technical errors or arbitrary lien imposition, contact your bank's customer care and follow up with them to remove it. You can also visit your bank branch and speak to officials there to understand the lien reason and get clarity on resolution steps.
The easiest way to eliminate the lien amount is to rectify the issue by contacting the bank executive or clearing the dues.
If the bank failed within the last two years and another bank purchased or acquired the failed bank, you should contact the acquiring bank (see the Failed Bank List). If the lien is for a subsidiary of a failed bank, the FDIC may also be able to assist you. Please contact FDIC DRR Customer Service at 888-206-4662.
Wyoming, Texas, and Mississippi are the only states that require a person signing a lien waiver to have it notarized. The notarization requirement does not apply in Washington and Oregon, the two states we primarily serve at Northwest Lien.
