FAQ
While credit card companies technically have the ability to pursue your home for unpaid debt, it's rare. A debt collector must go to court and get a judgment before it can place a lien on your home. There are limits and exemptions to how much of your home's equity a debt collector can claim.
If the property involved in a judgment lien is real property (real estate), the lien must be recorded in the Registry of Deeds in which the property is located. If the property involved is personal property, paperwork will be filed with the city or town clerk.
A lien which results from a judgment shall terminate not later than twenty years from the date it was created.
Key Takeaways. A judgment lien is a court ruling that gives a creditor the right to take possession of a debtor's property if the debtor fails to fulfill their contractual obligations. Judgment liens are nonconsensual because they are attached to property without the owner's consent or agreement.
Ing to the law in Massachusetts, when a mechanic's lien must be filed depends on whether you have directly contracted with the owner of the property. Generally, a notice of contract must be recorded no later than 90 days after you have supplied materials and/or labor to the job site.
As further bad news, default judgments do not simply vanish. The lien of a default judgment lasts five years and may be easily and repeatedly revived and transferred to other counties or states.
Undiscovered liens can result in high fines and even foreclosure on the home you worked so hard to obtain. Creditors should make all possible attempts to notify property owners of liens placed on their property but some liens can still go unnoticed so homeowners must take steps to protect themselves.
Creditors typically acquire property liens through your voluntary consent. On the other hand, creditors get judgment liens after winning a lawsuit against you for a debt you owe.
Judgments have expiration dates. 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.
