FAQ
A credit card provider cannot simply place and lien and take possession of your home. Instead, they first need to sue you for the unpaid credit card debt and receive a judgment in their favor. Once they have that judgment, they can move forward with claiming your assets, which involves putting a lien on your house.
Under California law, debt collectors have the right to place a lien on a person's home once they get a judgment. California law then lets the debt collector force the sale of a person's home to collect the judgment, even if that property is the debtor's only home.
A lien foreclosure action is a lawsuit to foreclose the mechanics lien. The lien claimant must file a lien foreclosure action within 90 days of the date that he or she recorded the mechanics lien. Often a lien claimant with a valid claim will fail to follow through, making the lien invalid.
Enforcing Your Judgment Get in touch with the judgment debtor. Levy (seize) assets that you have personal knowledge of. Examine judgment debtor in court to locate unknown assets. Suspend the judgment debtor's driver's license if the judgment is for auto accident.
File an Abstract of Judgment after Winning a Lawsuit Any time you win a lawsuit, you can put a lien on the defendant's real estate by recording an Abstract of Judgment in the Recorder's Office of the county where the real estate is located.
You do not have to have a contract to file a mechanic's lien. However, you do need to be a licensed contractor. If you are licensed, then you can record the lien within 90 days of finishing the project, regardless of whether you had a written contract.
To do this, fill out an EJ-001 Abstract of Judgment form and take it to the clerk's office. After the clerk stamps it, record it at the County Recorder's Office in the county where the property is located. Place a lien on a business.
Write the name and last known address of the judgment debtor in the space provided. You may also include any known aliases used by the judgment debtor. Fill in the last 4 digits of the judgment debtor's driver license number and state where it was issued, if you know them.
