The creditor is the person who has loaned the money not the person who owes the money. The debtor owes the money and a lien is placed against that person's property by the lender obtaining a judgment through the proper legal procedure that are required in the state in which the debtor resides. Usually the creditor will need to sue the debtor in small claims or other state court in the county in which the debtor lives. Mechanic Liens can be recorded with the clerk of deeds or land record office by presenting the proper documents and following the methods required by the laws of the debtor's state.

Can a contractor lien the property and my vehicle?

Yes and no. The contractor can file a lien against your house for non-payment. Even if you honestly don't owe the contractor any money, he may still lien your house; he will eventually have to prove the lien's validity in court or it is automatically released. No lien can be filed against your car. However, if the contractor gets a judgment against you, that judgment may be executed against your car and home to secure payment.
