They cannot put a lien on your house because then the unsecured card would be secured and you can only secure a loan at the time of the origination of the loan or if you later personally secured it with your property, such as a second mortgage. If you are filing for bankruptcy, unsecured creditors are the last on the totem pole, so to speak, to get any portion of money from you. If it is a chapter 7, they may not get ANY money from you. Of course you should talk to licensed attorney in your state, because my info is mostly based on MI bankruptcy laws, and some states may allow a lien, but to my knowledge bankruptcy would absolve you from paying those debts, Unpaid taxes, on the other hand, can lead to a lien on your home and those are treated as secured just as your mortgage is treated.

No one can place a lien on your personal property without taking you to court and winning judgment against you.

Just make sure when you speak with your attorney that you inform them of the lien. In most cases, it will be on your credit reports. The credit card co can put a lien on you.
