I'm trying to understand on how lien is being recorded. A creditor won a judgment against me. I called the LA Country Recorder office, and spoke to someone there, that searched my record. However, she told me that record is searched based on name and not real property ? I'm confused. I thought a lien is placed against your real property, not your name ? Please advise.
Bankruptcy is a legal way for people or businesses who are no longer capable of paying back their bills to clear these debts and start over.
Judgment liens are the result of someone winning a lawsuit, and then entering the judgment against your property. They can be placed on your car or home.
