Question about a Judgement Lien in CA

[Mike S.]

OK here is the situation a CA property has 3 liens the first 2 being private lenders and the third is a judgement lien. The property has very little equity if the the judgement is paid in full (along with the first 2 liens). Other than negotiating directly with the third lien holder to reduce the lien amount are there any other courses of action one can take to clear the judgement or put pressure on the 3rd lien holder to take a much smaller payoff amount.

What if any actions can I take to pressure the 3rd lien to accept a substantially reduced payout or better yet clear the title entirely?

Hopefully some of the Title experts will chime in

Put pressure on them? Sure, if the first or second is in default and you use the F word (foreclosure). Other than that, negotiate, a bird in hand is worth two in the bush. :)
