No, but under most circumstances a lender would be unwilling to give you a loan until the judgment is paid because there is a possibility that the judgment lien would have a higher priority than the mortgage.

Does a judgment have to paid off before you buy a home?

for an FHA loan, they don't like to see judgements. However, there is more than one way to remove a judgement from your credit reports - the easiest being to just dispute it with the CRA's and see what happens. Check the statute of limitations on judgements for your state, but keep in mind that judgements can be renewed by the creditor. You can try filing for a motion to vacate judgement and see if that works Last resort - if you need to actually pay it- you can negotiate a settlement with the creditor but make sure that they promise IN WRITING to actually delete the judgement from your report. You want it to show as never having been there in the first place. It does not do you much good to have a "paid" judgement sitting on your report. make sure to get the promise to do this IN WRITING, because once you pay they really have no motivation to remove it for you.
