No. You cannot "remove" a lien without paying the amount due and recording an appropriate discharge from the creditor. The only other way a lien will become inactive is when the statute of limitations has passed and the creditor has not recorded an extension of the original lien. For example, In Massachusetts a recorded attachment is good for six years. If the creditor wants to continue the lien, an extension must be recorded before the six year period expires. If not done, the attachment will be no longer effective.

If you owe money to a hospital will they take your house?

A hospital can petition the court for a judgment on an unpaid hospital bill. If successful they will obtain an execution against the property that will be recorded in the land records. The property cannot be refinanced or sold without paying the lien off. If the lien is substantial the hospital can sieze and sell your property to satisfy the judgment. You should seek the advice of any free legal assistance offered in your community to see what your options are.


Can you satisfy judgment for restitution without paying?

It may depend on the court - the case - and the decision rendered in that case. In a criminal case, if you have violated the court's (the judge's) order by not making restitution, you could be remanded for contempt of court. In a civil case it is likely only that you would be punished by other (non-jail) legal measures.
