I have recently discovered that a creditor who filed a judgment suit against me last year also filed a lien on a property that I do not own. This property is owned by my parents and I am not on the title, the deed or the mortgage. How did this happen and could the law office that filed this be committing a fraud?

I have investigated this matter further and have discovered that I am not on any paperwork that would associate me with ownership of this home. Further, I have contacted the law office that placed the lien and was informed that the attorney would not take this lien off and that I was to take the settlement offer that they have offered me. I unfortunately do not have the money to settle this and informed them of this. The women continued to pressure me to take the offer and told me that a lien is no big deal and that it will not be taken off. I then asked her if she would be able to provide me with information as to how it was determined that I have any ownership rights to this property that would establish this as a legitimate lien that can be enforced.

She informed me that she does not have that information and is not sure how this was accomplished. She told me that if I want to I could write a letter to the attorney requesting this information.

Is there anything else I can do. This attorney is a debt collector and I am not exactly sure how they are associated with US Bank. any advise as to how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
 
Regarding the lien on your parent's property, THEY will have to contact the company that has placed the lien and arrange to have the lien lifted if it is inappropriate. This should be fairly easy for them to do.
