It is an amount that you owe. More than likely something you have ignored the billing on. The creditor went to court and had a lien filed against you, which attaches to everything you own - saying no one else can get title to it (if property) or access it until the debt is satisfied.

If it's an income tax matter, they have the lien and the right to use whatever over payments or refunds you have coming to pay down the account, hold back social security, etc. Other creditors would have similar abilities. The account and debt continues to incur interest and charges until paid in full.

Can a lien holder ask for more than the lien is worth?

The recorded lien represents the amount due at the time the lien was issued by the court. Court judgments carry interest for every day they go unpaid. In Massachusetts the rate is 12%. The interest can cause the amount due on the lien to grow, especially if years pass before the lien is paid. An attorney could review the amount the creditor is asking for to make certain they are not inflating the amount due. Or, you could check with the court that issued the lien.The recorded lien represents the amount due at the time the lien was issued by the court.
