If a creditor in the state of Florida gets a judgment against you can the creditor place a lien in the title of your car if you own it? Or do they have to locate car and take posession of it to sell it . How does this work?
 
The creditor must exercise a writ of execution with the local Sheriff's office. There is a fee for this, plus a large deposit must be made. The Sheriff's office will then take possession and sell the vehicle at auction.

In Dade County:

Step 4: Fundamentals of Writ of Execution:dunno:

What is a Writ of Execution?
The Writ of Execution tells the sheriff to seize property of the judgment debtor to satisfy your judgment.

When to get the Writ of Execution?Ten (10) days after the Court has entered the judgment, the Clerk will issue a Writ of Execution upon your request. However, if the debtor files any timely post-judgment motions, you must wait until the Court rules on the motions before you can obtain a writ of Execution.

Where to take Writ of Execution?You then deliver the writ to the Sheriff's office in the county in which the property is located.

What is needed with the Writ of Execution?
Along with the Writ of Execution, you must provide the Sherrif's office with an "Instructions for Levy" form containing a description and location of property owned by the debtor.

Other Counties may have slight variances.
