Judgments and Liens – Explained

Judgments and liens against you and your assets may occur if you are unable to pay off a debt or meet the obligations of a contract. This can result in repossession, additional fees and penalties, and a lower credit score.

What is a Lien?

A lien is a legal claim over an asset that secures a debt owed by the owner to the lender, or claim holder. If the owner cannot pay the debt, the lender can repossess the asset (also known as foreclosure if the asset real estate). There are various types of liens, such as home mortgages and liens on cars and boats. There are also “judgment liens,” which are the result of a judgment entered against the property owner by a lender during a lawsuit. Tax liens happen if an individual fails to pay taxes. The lien applies to property and rights to property owned by the individual. Tax liens are reported to credit bureaus and can negatively affect an individual’s credit score.

What is a Judgment?

A judgment is a legal decision made by the court during a lawsuit that outlines the obligations of the debtor and the lender. If a debt collector obtains a judgment against you, they can attempt to collect your money through a lien, freezing your bank account and wage garnishment. They can also charge interest on the judgment.
