The short answer is yes, but the lien is not enforceable against the property so long as the property is truly homestead and continues to be homestead. Of course whether the lien is correct may be another question. If you are talking about a mortgage or security interest that you voluntarily give, then such lien can attach to the property and be enforced through foreclosure. If it is judgment lien based on something else, then it generally cannot be enforced by foreclosure. Your question implies that a "credit company" (is that a credit card company?) has put a lien on property. Generally they cannot do that in Florida without going through a lawsuit.
This is specific to Florida law and does not constitute legal advice as the facts presented are anonymous and incomplete. This is intended for general education only and does not create an attorney-client relationship. This should not be relied on and you must seek your own attorney client relationship.
