Question

An owner decides to sell his property and discovers that there is a lien on his title for a swimming pool he paid off 10 years ago. the pool company is out of business. what is the owner to do?

Answer 1

For the answer to the question above, before you can place a lien on a business property, you must first have a court order -- a judgment -- directing the debtor to pay what is owed. After filing a claim with the court and submitting proof of the amounts owed to you, the business must answer and explain why the debt is not owed. The court will grant your request if there is no evidence to show that the debtor does not owe the amounts in question and enter a judgment in your favor.
