Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
Property lien
We own a house with a mortgage. Judgments have been entered and liens have been filed for non-payment of a student loan and a credit card. Can either force the sale of the house? Can the credit card company still go after other assets like our bank accounts now that the lien has been filed on the property.

Re: Property lien
Generally, they cannot force the sale of the house, but you will not be able to refinance unless they are paid. In the mean time, yes, they can continue to attach your bank account.
