Yes. If the creditor wins a lawsuit against the debtor a judgment is entered in favor of the creditor. A judgment can be executed against any non-exempt property belonging to the debtor including but not limited to the placing of a lien against real property. In most situations a lien is possible regardless of the status of ownership of the property, with the exception being marital property held under TBE laws.

Credit card companies will not generally be able to put a lien on your house for unsecured debts. There may be some exceptions to this, but this situation would be rare.

In this state a credit card judgment can not put a lien on a house. Other answers indicate that in other places it can. You will need to find out about the law in your area.

Yes. It can sue you in court, obtain a judgment lien and record it in the land records. You could not sell or mortgage the property until the lien is paid.
