Define your "assets" - anything that you have financed (home mortgage - automobile - boat - etc) can be seized by the lender due to the consent wording propbably contained in your borrowers papers. Anything else (bank accounts - investments - etc) would have to be done via court order.

No.

The exception would be a company/person who has done work on property, such as roofing, siding, improvements, etc, and has not been paid by the owner of that property. The claimant can file a Mechanic's Lien against the property without the necessity of court procedure.

What is the purpose of a lien being placed against real property?

What is a self help repo state?

A self-help repossession state is one where a creditor is legally allowed to repossess collateral without going through the court system. In these states, creditors can take back the property if the debtor has defaulted on the loan agreement. Self-help repossession states typically have specific rules and regulations that creditors must follow when repossessing property.


Can a credit card company garnish your wages without going through a court?

No. A creditor who hires a law firm that is licensed to do arbitration (such as Mann-Bracken Attorneys At Law) can circumvent the normal lawsuit process and have the account ruled on by the arbitration board. However, even using the arbitration process the creditor will need to file in the appropriate court in the state where the debtor resides to have a judgment entered. The ways in which the judgment can be executed against the debtor's property depends upon the laws of the debtor's state.


Can residential property be levied to pay a debt?

No levy may be placed on a home or even a garnishment made unless the creditor has obtained a judgment on the debt through a court. The judgment automatically becomes a lien of property the debtor owns. The creditor then attempts to levy on the property threatening to sell it to pay the judgment debt. Some states force a judgment creditor to go after personal assets like bank accounts first before going after real estate. In that way although the lien is there, the levy cannot yet be made.

is it legal to evict a tenant without going to court ?

The only way you can evict a tenant without going to court is if the tenant leaves voluntarily. Otherwise, you cannot use self help and simply go in and remove their property or change the locks. You are required to go to the landlord tenant court and obtain a court order in order to evict someone. An order will only be entered after the court schedules a hearing and notice of the hearing is given to the tenant.

You are owed money from old roommate can you put a lien on the trailer that she owns that is still on your property?

Not without going to small claims court, and then going back to court after a time, and maybe again, etc. After all that they probably will have moved it sold it, whatever. Might be better just to demand that it be removed from your property, then, at least you won't have to look at it. They sound like squirrels (sp?) and they may just abandon it anyway.


How long does a creditor have to pickup a voluntarily surrendered vehcile through a bankruptcy?
