No, they cannot put a lien on joint property if you are sued only. You should contact a consumer lawyer to help you.

In addition to not being able to lien joint property, you may have other protections available. You may want to consult with an attorney who assists consumers with debt relief. Especially if you have other unsecured debt.

Good luck

It kind of depends. Did they get a judgment against you? Contracts run five years so they might be looking at coming after you. You can certainly offer a lesser amount. Try negotiating with them first.
