A lien is a legal claim against your property or assets that serves as collateral for a debt. In simple terms, it’s a way for a creditor to secure the right to your property if you fail to pay what you owe. This gives the creditor a legal right to the property to get their money back, even if it means seizing and selling the property, and it typically remains on the property until the debt is paid in full.

This can include taking money directly from an employee’s paycheck, from their bank account, or seizing property. A garnishment can be issued for various reasons, such as unpaid taxes, child support, student loans, or court-ordered fines.
