Property Lien
Property liens can be levied against you for outstanding debts. Any creditor can get a judgment against you at any time. The property lien can go unknown about for years and when you want to sell the house it pops up barring the sale. Generally it has to be paid in full before you can transfer the title. Judgment property liens can be brought against you by credit card companies, utility concerns, department stores and just about any other business that you do business with for credit. If the bill can be the cause of a law suite it can result in a property lien.

The judgment property lien is a lot different form a trust. In the judgment property lien the creditor does not have the option to force a sale but it can prevent you from selling and it will be on your credit. They are required to wait for you to sell the property and at such time they can demand full payment. Now do not let this get you excited, because in most case of a property lien like this one the judge will assign an interest rate to the amount of the lien.

The creditor only has to file the property lien with the land records department and it is permanently attached to that property until it is paid in full. If they fail to file the lien then it will not hinder a property sale. The really scary thing about having delinquent unsecured debt is that all of the various creditors could put a lien on your property. Imagine having several liens gaining interest on your property. You could come away from a sale with nothing.
