Best Answer

A lien holder is the finance company, bank, or individual with whom you signed an agreement to borrow money using a particular asset, such as a car or real property, as collateral. You cannot sell that asset until the loan is paid. If you don't pay the loan, the lien holder can take possession of the property.

For example:

  • You signed a contract with a finance company when you purchased your car. The finance company is the lien holder. If you default on your payments the company will take the car.
  • If you signed a mortgage for your home and default on the mortgage, the lender is the lien holder and can take possession of your home by foreclosure.
