Can a lien be place on your house if you continue to make small monthly payments on credit card debts?

A creditor does not legally have to accept any payment amount except that which is stated in the contract/lending agreement. Also when accepting a lesser payment the creditor is still not barred from using other methods including litigation to collect the debt. Evem of the debtor is making payments on the account the creditor can still file suit for the debt and if granted a judgment in most cases use it as a lien against the debtor's property. Because litigation is expensive and time consuming most creditors (not all) will try to work with the debtor. The debtor should contact the creditor to attempt to make other payment arrangements, not take it upon themselves to simply pay what they can afford.
