usually at the Secretary of State’s Office.
The financing statement generally includes the following information:
- Names and addresses of the agreeing parties
- A description of the collateral (the property to which the lien attaches)
Signatures of all agreeing parties
When personal property is used as collateral, the agreement is called a security
interest.
When the secured property is real estate, the agreement is called a mortgage.
Explain the By Judicial Process lien type.
A judicial lien results from a creditor's efforts to collect the debt. When a creditor
is unable to collect a debt using reasonable "pressuring" techniques (which are
regulated by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act), the creditor must resort to
legally prescribed collection procedures.
Explain the By Statute lien type.
