How do I have a lien released ifI received an order of default against the creditor?
I am representing myself in a case involving a debt that has gone past the statute of limitations for collection. There has been a lien placed against me as a result of this. I have received a signed order for default because the creditor has not responded at any time, nor has shown up at the hearing. Can I use this order to have the lien released?

If what you are saying that the creditor has been unable to obtain a judgment against you and the lawsuit has been dismissed by the court, then what you do is get an order from the court stating that the lien against you has been released and that the creditor is required to release the lien within so many days after notice of the order.
Serve the notice of the order that I suggest you obtain on the creditor assuming the court issues it.
