§ 55647 Lienholder Personal Action Rights

• •If someone owes you money and you have a lien (a legal claim on their property), you can still sue them to get your money back.
• •You can sue them even if you're trying to take their property because of the lien.
• •You don’t have to say in your court papers that your demand isn’t secured by a lien.

Imagine you fixed someone’s car, but they didn’t pay you. You have a lien on their car, meaning you can take it if they don’t pay.

This law says you can still sue them for the money they owe you, even if you’re also trying to take their car. You don’t have to say in your court papers that your demand isn’t backed by the lien.
