Since you chose this category (condominiums , co-ops and home owners associations), it's possible that an attorney found your name on the title to a condominium unit.

It's a good idea for you to contact the attorney and settle the debt, and if necessary, figure out how to clear the title to the condominium unit if its title has been clouded by this lien.
