assuming thatthe lien has been filed or recorded in the county clerks office...you must do the following...speak with the creditor or attorney for the creditor and request a "release of lien", "discharge of lien" or "satisfaction of lien"...you are entitled to this document under the law...request that they mail this document directly to you and NOT to the county clerk...once you have received this document, take it directly to the county clerks office and have it filed...if the county clerk is requested to do so by you, they will return this document to you after it has been processed by the clerks office, which can take several months...but once the clerk has accepted this document for filing, and posted it in the public records, then your lien is released from your property

A lien encumbers the named property until it is paid or satisfied. In most cases the property cannot be transferred, sold or refinanced unless an agreement is reached with the lien holder.
