State laws vary but generally, a creditor can sue the debtor in court for any deficiency after the repossession and if successful can obtain a judgment. The creditor can then request a judgment lien from the court and once recorded in the land records the lien will attach to the debtor's real estate.

How do you file a claim or lien against a company who did not pay the account payables?

You can't just file a valid lien against a company. You have to have a statutory right to a lien on specific property. Therefore, unless you made improvements to their real estate, or did work on their vehicle, or are their attorney, or provided medical services, the only way you can claim a valid lien is to first sue the company and obtain a judgment. Then the judgment can be a lien against the company's real estate and you can also execute against its assets.

Is a lien in affect after chapter 7 and you never owned real estate can they seize your first house?

If the lien was not released through your bankruptcy, then it will attach to your first house. A Federal Tax Lien attaches to all property, real and personal, existing at the time the lien is filed and to any property acquired after the filing of the tax lien. If your taxes were discharged in the bankruptcy, the lien probably should have been released. You may want to call the IRS to see if they will issue a release to clear it up. The phone number for the IRS Lien Unit is (800) 913-6050
