FAQ
Here are a few ways to remove the lien: Invalidate the lien. If the lien is invalid or was obtained in a manner that doesn't follow the procedural requirements under the law, an attorney may be able to strip the lien from the property. Satisfy the debt. Negotiate a lower payoff. File for bankruptcy.
Essentially, consensual liens don't adversely affect your credit as long as repayment terms are satisfied. Judgment and most statutory liens have a negative impact on your credit score and report, which affect your ability to obtain financing in the future.
Involuntary liens are imposed on a property without the owner's consent. These liens arise due to various reasons, such as unpaid taxes, unpaid contractor bills, or court judgments. Unlike voluntary liens, which are created through a contractual agreement, involuntary liens are imposed by law.
Liens on personal property are generally controlled by the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”). Article 9 of the UCC governs the creation and perfection of liens on most items of personal property.
If they are not timely renewed, they expire. In CA that is 10 years. However, when a judgment lien has been recorded against your property, it has no expiration date. This means that it is possible to no longer have a judgment against you, but still have a judgment lien on your property.
Of the three types of liens (consensual, statutory, and judgment), the judgment lien is the most dangerous form, but one which the informed business owner may be able to eliminate. A judicial lien is created when a court grants a creditor an interest in the debtor's property, after a court judgment.
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.
An involuntary lien can occur without your knowledge, depending on the circumstances. A creditor often places a judgment lien after suing you and winning the case.
Ing to California State Law, documents can only be viewed in the Clerk Recorder office. You will be able to view the images of recorded documents involving your name to find out if a lien has been placed against you or if a recorded lien has been released.
