Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Property liens

Is a property lien a good choice to collect a personal debt? Can this be used by a private indicidual?? Bill collector

will not make a difference to this person but they do have property which

incidentally they want to refinance. Does a lien influence a refinance??
