Hi Iramos!
Welcome to forums!
A collection agency can definitely place lien on your property to recover the dues. They will have to file a lawsuit in the court and pass a judgment in order to place a lien on the property. You can ask the collection agency to show you the required documents.
Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

Can I apply for Chapter 7 and have these collection accts taken care of
and will the lien be released then.
and will the lien be released then.
Hi iramos,
You can definitely file Chapter 7 to get discharged of the collections but not all liens are discharged in bankruptcy. You need to contact your bankruptcy attorney and take his opinion in this regard.
Thanks
