§ 57530 Lien Certificate Request Fees

Key Takeaways

  • •Anyone can ask for a paper that shows if someone owes money and if someone else has a legal claim on their stuff.
  • •The paper will tell you who says they are owed money, when they filed the claim, and how to contact them.
  • •You have to pay a small fee to get this paper, just like you would for a similar paper about business stuff.

Example

You want to buy a used car from your neighbor, but you're not sure if they still owe money on it.

You can ask for a paper that shows if a bank or someone else has a claim on the car because your neighbor still owes them money. This helps you know if the car is really free to sell.
