What is an "abstract lien" and can they attach my money market or checking accounts? What is the best way to deal with this?
Optional Information: State/Country relating to Question: California Already Tried: Was supposed to have a court date to set court date, but found "case closed" and "abstract judgement".
Hello,An Abstract of Judgment in California is when a Judgment Creditor places a lien on real property, like your home. The abstract of judgment is recorded in the county recorder's office where the property is located. Prior to the property being sold, the judgment has to be paid. In other words, it clouds the title. The process for levying your bank account is different - the debtor has to get a Writ of Execution from the court. Let me know if you have any other specific questions! I hope this helps.

Real Property? Would that also include automobiles?I would like to negotiate a settlement on this case. What is the best way to go about doing so? And what should I get in writing as proof of settlement? Thank YOU.
Hello,No, real property is like a home or a piece of land. An automobile is personal property. You can negotiate a settlement by contacting your creditor. They may be less willing to negotiate with you now that they have a judgment. You will need to get a release of the judgment lien if you do settle.

Just for clarification. Contact the creditor (credit card company) or the law firm that handled the case?

The law firm would have the most current information. Thanks!
