Can credit card companies put a lien on a house for unpaid debt if you bought your house through an owner carry?
Yes, it is irrelevant how the property was purchased. If it is titled in the judgment debtor's name a lien can be placed on the property. The exception could be if the judgment debtor is married and does not live in a community property state and the spouse is not a co-judgment debtor.
Can a credit card company go after your house if the mortgage is in your husband's name only?
Ownership of real property is determined by the wording on the title or deed not by the names on the lending agreement. If the debtor owns a share of the property then a lien can usually be placed by a judgment creditor. The exception would be married couples holding property as Tenancy By The Entirety when only one spouse is the judgment debtor.

When you find a house and it is a sheriff sale and a survivor-ship deed was on this house does that mean there is still a mortgage to pay off?
A survivorship deed has nothing to do with whether there is a mortgage on a property sold by a sheriff's deed.A sheriff's deed conveys only what interest the debtor owned in the property. The debtor may have no interest in the property. It may be subject to a mortgage or the debtor may have only owned a half-interest. There may be other liens. In fact, language recited in a sheriff's deed generally declares that the sheriff does not certify the debtor had any interest in the property only that IF the debtor did own any interest in the property it is conveyed by the deed. That means a buyer needs to do a comprehensive title examination performed by a professional to disclose the legal status of the property. You should contact an attorney who specializes in real estate to represent you if you are interested in purchasing the property.

What if a parent leaves the house to four children. One child has debt collectors after them. Can the debt collector's go after that child's share in the house?
It depends on the laws of the specific jurisdiction, but in general, if the child's share in the house has been legally transferred to them, it could potentially be subject to collection by debt collectors. However, if the house is owned jointly with siblings or has restrictions preventing creditors from seizing the share, it may be protected. Consulting a legal professional for advice tailored to the specific situation is recommended.
