How to Remove a Court Ordered Lien
- 1). Pay off the balance to satisfy the unpaid debt by calling the company that has the lien on your house or bank account and making a payment over the phone. Alternatively, ask for the mailing address and send a check or money order for the full amount due.
- 2). Settle with the creditor or debt collector on terms for an installment plan and then ask that the lien be lifted from your property. Agree to send a payment every week or once a month. Even if you can't pay off an old debt with one payment, your creditor or debt collector may remove the lien if you're willing to pay through installments.
- 3). Fight the lien by appealing the original judgment order issued by the court. The court will remove a lien on your house or bank account if you appeal the judgment and request a new court date to discuss the debt.
