Best Answer

I assume you were awarded a "Judgment and Decree Quieting Title" or some other order to that effect. There is no way to file a "lien" against the contractor--you already have a civil judgment. I would first contact the contractor licensing authority in your state--they will be able to see if the contractor has a cash bond to attach the judgment to. Second, I would call a real estate or construction law attorney--look for attorneys in the phone book who give "free consultations."

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.
