Bondsman put lein on our land

[eneedham]

Hello,
I am from Arkansas so if anyone is familiar with the laws here I could use some help. We bought 1 acre of land last February. In March we recieved a call from the bank that the guy we bought it from put it up for bond and the bondsman has a lein on it. The guy we talked to said he didn't do it and would talk to the bondsman and settle it. Well, last month the bank called again saying that there is still a lein on it. We called the bondsman who finally cleared our land. The guy we bought the land from swears he didn't put the land up for bond. Is there any legal action we can take against the bondsman if in fact the seller did not put it up for bond. After all, we had a lein on our land for almost a year and the only way we found out about it is because our bank does frequent title checks. Sorry its so long, but I wanted to get all the details in.

Thanks,
Erica

If you did not use an attorney when you bought the property, you need one now.

Why do you say that? Is there something we should do?

Thanks,

Yes, you should hire an attorney.
