It is illegal to sell a car with a lien on it. If it has a lien you will not be able to register the car in your name. The loan must be paid off and the lien released before you can actually own the car. You may have just got scammed.

Can a debt collector put a lien on your car if it is registered to your spouse?
No, if it is your debt only and your name is not on the car. Unless you used the car for collateral for a loan, they can't put a "lien" on it anyway.
Can bankruptcy lawyer have lien removed from car?
If the lien is a purchase money lien (granted to allow you to buy the car), then no. If it is a nonpurchase money lien (you granted a lien on the car to secure an unrelated debt), then yes.
What if someone has sold you a car with a lien?
I think you may have meant "lien" instead of "lean". A lien is a monetary (money) debt placed against a possession by a creditor who has not been paid by other means. If an owner sells his cat on which a lien has previously been placed, the lien belongs to the person (i.e. the other person who owned the possession before); a lien does not "follow" the car or other possession, it follows the person who owes the debt. If a seller sold you a car with a lien against it, you need to contact an attorney to get the lien removed from your-now-owned car. You or your attorney needs to notify the creditor/lien holder that you bought the car without knowledge of the lien. The creditor would then need to identify a different possession owned by the other person in order to attach the lien to that possession, and not to your car.

Can an individual place a lien on my car if it is paid for and I own it outright?
No. Only a court can issue a lien. You would need to sue the car owner in court for a debt and win a judgment. The court could then issue a judgment lien and the sheriff could seize the car to pay your debt. A judgment lien could also be used to take any other personal property to satisfy the lien and it could be recorded in the land records if the defendant owns real estate. In that case, the property could not be sold or mortgaged until the lien is paid.
