Civil judgments are good for 20 years in many jurisdictions. All you can do is try to wait out the creditor and hope it doesn't move to seize your personal property such as your car or bank accounts. You can't sell or mortgage your real property if a judgment lien is recorded against you in the land records until the lien has been paid.
