It means you're gonna pay, like it or not.

Depends on who had the lien placed against your home. If it's your mortgage company, they sure can - it's called foreclosure. Most other entities have to wait until you sell your home, then it depends on what position the lien is in. For example, mortgages are often in first and/or seconds position, and then all liens are placed in ascending order from there...

I am NOT a lawyer. I have worked in PA title insurance since 2000.


lovelytwiggy - Don't hijack other people's posts. Post your own question and someone will answer it. BTW: Clarify who is who in your post, what the lien is for and when it originated. I'd be happy to offer you my opinion in a separate thread.
