If you have a judgment against you and cannot pay it all can you settle for less than what is owed?

The party involved can try to negotiate a settlement, but it's unlikely if a judgment has been awarded. Once a judgment is in place the creditor has several options for executing it for payment of funds owed. If the debtor is gainfully employed the creditor will probably enforce the judgment as a wage garnishment and collect the entire balance of the debt.

If the sellers sold the home for as much as they owed on the loan, there is no possibility for a deficiency judgment, since there is no deficiency. If the sale was through a short sale where the bank took less than it was owed but allowed the homeowners to sell and walk away, the bank would have to sue for the deficiency judgment.
