Pay the amount of the lien to the lien holder, then give him/her the prescribed amount of time to remove the lien. You can do that in writing and make sure it's sent by certified mail and/or paid by an independent third party acting on your request. Your state will have a requirement that the lien be removed within a given period of time following payment. If the lien is NOT removed after you pay the bill, you may have legal recourse.

∙ 16y agoChecking accounts are levied by means of a court ordered judgment. Most bank account levies are good for a period of thirty days and then must be renewed through the court. In some states the levy depending upon what it is for can remain on the account until the amount of the judgment has been collected. The holder of the account cannot have the levy removed without filing a petition with the court where the creditor received the judgment. For the levy to be suspended or ceased the judgment debtor/account holder must present evidence for "just cause". Such evidence might be that the funds in the account are not subject to seizure because they are of exempt status, such as Social Security or public assistance benefits.
