A lien can be filed without the necessity of a lawsuit judgment only if it pertains to work done on the debtor's property, such as improvement of a structure or repairs on a vehicle. Such liens are referred to as Mechanic Liens.
The party wishing to partake in such action can file in his or her own county and if the lien is found to be valid it will be attached to the property designated even if that property is not located in the same jurisdiction. Such action is known as a "foreign judgment/lien".
Although court clerks can supply the necessary forms and other general information relating to how to file the complaint they cannot assist the person in any other manner. They cannot offer advice or opinion on the matter in question.

What is an auto lienholder?
A lien holder is someone who has a financial interest in a car. It could be the bank you financed it from, or someone else who the car owner owes money to. The car owner's name is on the title with the lien holder's name so that you can't sell the car without the lien holder signing the title...this means that you don't owe the lien holder any money on the car. The car is now 100% owned by the title owner.

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 you hold someones car if they owe you money but you do not have a lien?
No. Taking their car would be theft.If someone owes you money, you can file a civil law suit. If you are granted a judgment, you can attach to assets and potentially force a sale if the debt is not paid.Another View: Some states have provisions in their law for a craftsmen and tradesmen to file a "mechanics lien" which requires less official court involovment than filing a full-blown civil suit for collections.
Can you repo a car if you don't own it but the owner of the vehicle owes you money for car payments and hasn't repaid you?
This depends greatly on how the money they owe you was structured. If you gave them money for a car but you are not the registered owner, you must have a lien against the vehicle in order to reposses it. When a bank repos a car, it's because the DMV has them as a lien holder on the vehicle and they have followed their debt collection rules regarding the collection process up to the point of repo. If you have an informal agreement with the person and no lien or title rights to the car, reposessing it may be considered theft as you have no legal right to the car. Your best course of action is to take the person to small claims court.
Lien holder on your vehicle?
