§ 2891 Lien Scope Limitation

• •If someone has a right to take your stuff because you owe them money, that right only covers the money you originally owed.
• •They can't use that same right to take your stuff for any other money you might owe them later.
• •The right to take your stuff is only for the first debt, not for new ones.

You take a loan to buy a car, and the bank has the right to take the car if you don't pay back the loan.

If you later borrow more money from the same bank for something else, they can't take your car for that new loan. They can only take your car if you don't pay back the original car loan.
