Take a look at your credit card agreement. There may be a clause that allows them to do that. And they can always get a judgment against you to allow them to place a lien.
Judgment Liens For Creditor DebtCredit cards are unsecured debts, this means no specified collateral has been used to secure the debt.For a creditor to place a lien against a debtor's property due process needs to be followed.
Due process means the creditor's attorney would need to sue the debtor in the state court in the county where the debtor resides. If the plaintiff/creditor wins the case a judgment is entered against the debtor and the judgment can be executed as a lien against real property.
Even in cases where arbitration is allowed in lieu of a lawsuit, the plaintiff/creditor must still follow the judicial process of filing for and executing a judgment in accordance with the laws of the debtor's state.

how do i get an answer to this question
Unpaid property taxes in Florida result in sales of Tax certificates. I have found that the liability is against the property and unpaid taxes are satisfied by a lien against the property. I can't find anywhere the answer as to whether the Taxpayer is not reported to the credit bureau. it seems to me that since counties get the money a different way (investor in the tax certificate) they are not at loss and because the liability is against the property, the owner of the property's credit is not affected? Can someone confirm? Tx CB, Ormond Beach, FL
Before you engage a credit repair company, I would recommend contacting the Better Business Bureau. Not only will they tell you of past complaints against the company, but they will be able to tell you if the company is licensed appropriately.
A lien cannot be placed against an individual in reality. However, a judgment creditor such as a credit card company can place a lien against real property owned by a judgment debtor. The judgment creditor can take other steps as well to collect the debt, an example would be income garnishment.

The property can not be taken if is it a joint property. If you are the only one on the judgement, then your spouse is entitled to protect his/her property. He/she must file an affidavit with the court and the sheriff's department to obtain an exemption of the property.
If you are getting disability or social security, credit card companies cannot garnish your wages. However, the judge can issue liens against your property.
no
