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.
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.
The Pre-Foreclosure Process The pre-foreclosure process begins when a homeowner fails to make their mortgage payments for a specified period, typically 120 days. The lender then records a Notice of Default (NOD) with the county recorder's office.
In a judicial foreclosure, after the judge orders the sale of a home, it's usually auctioned off to the highest bidder. The homeowner has some time after the sale to buy the home back from the successful bidder (called the right of redemption). The amount of time depends on whether the sale satisfied the debt.
It takes several months for a lender to foreclose on a California property. If everything goes ing to schedule, the process typically takes approximately 120 days — about four months — but the process can take as long as 200 or more days to conclude.
Debt collectors may not be able to sue you to collect on old (time-barred) debts, but they may still try to collect on those debts. In California, there is generally a four-year limit for filing a lawsuit to collect a debt based on a written agreement.
In California, lenders can foreclose on deeds of trust or mortgages using a nonjudicial foreclosure process (outside of court) or a judicial foreclosure process (through the courts). The nonjudicial foreclosure process is used most commonly in our state.
If the court has your address, the clerk mails you a Notice of Entry of Default. If they sent this, you must file and serve the request to set aside within 180 days from the date you were served that notice.
To create a lien, you need to record an abstract of judgment with the county recorder's office in the county where the property is located. You may use either Abstract of Judgment—Restitution (form CR-111/JV-791) or Abstract of Judgment—Civil and Small Claims (form EJ-001).
If the judgment debtor owns real property, you may record an Abstract of Judgment with the County Recorder which will act as a lien against all real property owned by the judgment debtor in the county in which the lien is recorded. Complete an Abstract of Judgment (EJ-001)PDF and submit to the court to be issued.
