The debt had to become a judgment before it could be used as a lien. Remember getting sued? You may be able to set aside the judgment, but you would still be possibly owing the debt. Apparently noone recorded the deed you signed until after the lien attached. If you signed a warranty deed,... View More

That sounds like you have alot of discretion on accepting the surveyed corners or not. However if you notify the seller of non-execution, then he can still sue you for specific performance. In Court you would test your lack of satisfaction. But such a suit is usually unlikely.

Hire a NC attorney to search both titles. Hire Surveyor to give his opinion of boundary line corners. Then you may need to file a Boundary Dispute action unless you and the other landowner can agree to a recorded boundary agreement. It does not sound like damages can be sought.

Parking Tickets are rarely moving violations, so do not go on your MVR. You can be sued for the money, and if the same Court that hears your Parking Tickets also has a Rule of the Road Violation before it, you will have to pay the Parking Citations prior to dealing with the other Offenses cited.
