Based on the facts described in your inquiry, it is highly unlikely that any lien, judgment,

or other legal claim exists. She could check her credit report and local court records to

confirm that none exists. Auto rental companies and their insurance providers typically

attempt to collect such claims from any involved party. A lien cannot be placed on her

property unless a court has entered a judgment against your daughter which would be

discovered in a check of credit reports and court records. The lapse of four years without

interim claim made by the company indicates that it was resolved; regardless, the facts

suggest that your daughter would have no liability.
