The Liens menu contains commands used to process liens for customers. By definition a lien is considered a right over another's property to protect a debt charged to the property. Use the Liens programs to notify customers about seriously delinquent balances and to later transfer their delinquent balances to liens if you do not receive any payment, if applicable.
