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??

Re: Property liens

In either case, you must file a lawsuit first. If you live in Southern California, our firm may be able able to assist you. To find out more, visit our website @ labusinesslawyer.com.
