A storage lien is a legal claim that a storage facility can place on a customer's stored property when they fail to pay for rental fees or other charges. This lien allows the facility to retain possession of the items until the debt is settled, and in some cases, they may sell the property to recover the owed amount. Storage liens are typically governed by state laws and often require the facility to provide notice to the customer before taking further action.

If you have the title to your car can someone put a lien on it?

Yes, if you left it for repairs in a shop and did not pay for repairs, they can put a mechanics lien on it, also if your car was towed and you did not take it out of storage they can put a storage lien on it. Sometimes even when you finance a car if they accidentally forget to add a lien and you receive the title, they can still add the lien with the contract or agreement they have signed by you.

Can you get items out of a storage unit scheduled for auction?

Generally, no. The storage company has a contract. The terms of that contract include the right of the storage company to put a lien on all the items within the storage unit, in the case of unpaid bills; to prevent items from being removed before the lien is satisfied at auction, the storage company places their own locks on the unit.

Can a creditor place a lien against a house or car that's not paid for?

Yes. As an example, if a car is stored for a certain length of time without the storage charges being paid, the storage company can put a lien on it to pay for the storage. If the vehicle is not picked up after a "certain length of time" and the owner has been "properly notified" the vehicle can be sold in a lien sale. Laws vary a bit from state to state, but the basics are similar.
