• Liens: A lien is a legal claim or right against a property that serves as collateral to ensure the repayment of a debt or obligation. Liens can be placed on various types of property, including real estate, vehicles, and personal property. Common types of liens include mechanic’s liens, judgment liens, and tax liens. They are used to secure payment for services rendered, goods delivered, or debts owed.
• Payment Demands: A payment demand is a formal request for payment owed. This can be issued by an individual, a business, or a legal entity to another party who has not fulfilled their payment obligations. Payment demands typically outline the amount due, the reason for the debt, and a deadline for payment. They can be a precursor to more formal legal actions, such as filing a lawsuit or placing a lien.
• Collections: Collections refer to the process of pursuing payment of debts owed by individuals or businesses. This can involve a variety of actions, from sending payment reminders and negotiating payment plans to hiring collection agencies or pursuing legal action. The goal is to recover the owed amount, often involving measures such as wage garnishment, bank levies, or seizing property.
