If your husband has a civil judgment on his credit report and it stays on your credit file for 7 years but if it has not been satisfied what happens when the seven years has been completed?

Depending on the state you live in, judgments can be renewed. If the person entitled to the judgment doesn't try to collect or renew, when the judgment expires, you should probably contact your court clerk to find out how to get it removed from all records.

Can credit card companies sue you if they cannot find you?

In most states a creditor can pursue a lawsuit against a person who cannot be located. The laws in the majority of states simply require that a "reasonable attempt" be made to find and serve the defendant. If the debtor/defendant is not found and/or does not appear on the scheduled hearing date, he or she will lose by default and a judgment for the creditor will be entered. The creditor may then execute the judgment against the debtor's property or assets in accordance with the state laws. In above comment, one form of "reasonable attempt"to reach you may include a simple ad in the newspaper local to your last known address.

If you have a judgment and after 7 years it's off your credit does that mean that the creditor can't put a lien on any of your property?

The expiration of the judgment on your credit report does not necessarily prevent the creditor from enforcing the judgment by placing a lien on your property. You may need to check the laws in your state regarding the statute of limitations for enforcement of judgments. Additionally, the creditor may still pursue other legal avenues to collect the debt even if the judgment is no longer on your credit report.


How long do you have to pay a civil lawsuit judgment?

That is difficult to determine as it depends on the judgment holder and the laws of the state in which the judgment was awarded. Before the judgment can be executed it must be filed with the clerk of the court and signed by the judge. How the judgment holder chooses to collect the debt (wage garnishment, bank account levy, lien, etc.) would also have a bearing on when the judgment is enforced. Of course the judgment debtor also has the option of trying to negotiate with the judgment holder to pay the debt owed.
