Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

Re: Leins on house

Why do you ask? Have they made such threats? Send them a letter via certified return receipt mail. Demand that they contact you only by mail. Contact a lawyer if they continue to make such threats.

A creditor can get a judgment against you, but I really can not think of a way whereby a credit card type creditor could assert a valid lien against your home.

You should schedule a formal consultation with a lawyer. A good means of obtaining an attorney referral is by contacting your State's bar association or your local county bar association. They probably have a web site and charge a nominal fee for the referral. Most attorneys either provide a free initial consultation, or charge a nominal fee. I would be happy to meet with you.
