Does a Mechanic's lien affect your credit?

New Mexico

My sister received a Mechanics lien against her in the mail the other day from a towing company on a car she sold 1 1/2 years ago for $1. The mechanic shop she sold it to turned around and sold it to a used car dealership. It was so long ago they are having a difficult time tracking down the information. What can be done about this mechanics lien. The Tow owner said "dont pay it, it wont go against your credit"... Like I have stupid written all over my face.

Morning Lynn,

I would definitely suggest she reach out to whomever filed the lien against her, as that is typically the only way to get something like this to go away.

Unfortunately, we specialize in construction mechanics liens, so I am unable to provide any other suggestions or information. I would suggest again to reach out to whomever filed the lien as well as possibly an attorney who specializes in property law.

Thank you for reaching out, and I wish your sister luck!
