No, a lien is not possible for a medical debt. However, if the collections agency was to sue you and one a judgment that would effect your home if you tried to sell or refinance. This is because a title search is done in both cases, and will list all the taxes owed, mortgages, liens, and any judgments in the name of the listed owners; and the courts require payment of all those debts in that order of priority.

If you paid a collection agency in 2004 for a hospital bill you never received in 2000 in Florida and the hospital has resold the same debt to another collection agency in 2007 what can you do?
You get a letter from the paid collection agency and send it as proof of payment to the new agency. In the mean time, you call the new agency and dispute the claim of debt. If they receive the letter and still harrass you, then you have the right to sue and turn their neames over to the BBB. This is only if you paid in full. If you settled, then the next agency can try to get the unpaid amount. Remember, there is a 4 year period on medical bills. After that, they can't collect, unless the hospital revitalized your account.
