There is no central location to find all judgments against you. You can find most creditor and major liability judgments on your credit report. You are entitled to one free credit report every year from the 3 largest national credit bureaus, TransUnion, Equifax and Esperian.
In most cases, the plaintiff or the court will send you a document indicating the judgment has been entered against you. If you move without leaving a change of address, or you do not change your address with the plaintiff or the court within a year, you will not get any mailed notices.
If you know a case has been filed against you, call or go to the clerk's office for that court. Make sure you have the docket number for the case, it will help.
Go to the your state's circuit court site and it list all judgments against you.
If you were sued, and the other side got a judgement against you, it should be on file at the courthouse. It will also show up on your credit report.
A judgment can be against either the person or their property. A personal judgment is against the individual's assets or income, while a lien on property is against the person's property.
No, it is levied against your estate.
A judgment is against specific things.
Can someone collect my income tax return for a judgment against me
If there is a judgment AGAINST you for fraud, then NO, such a judgment WILL NOT be discharged.
Yes.
A judgment against the trustee in his individual capacity will not affect the trust property. A judgment against the trustee as the trustee will become a lien on the trust property.
In Illinois, each payment is a judgment.
Laws vary by state and my comments are based on California law. There are many procedures that might apply depending on the type of lien you are referring to. If you have a judgment against someone and you know of a third party who owes money to the judgment debtor, you can obtain a writ of exeuction and have the sheriff levy on that claim or you can file a motion for an assignment order transfer the right of payment to you. If the judgment debtor has a judgment against someone else, you can have that judgment assigned to you can you can then collect that judgment.
Yes you can, a judgment does not stop you from traveling outside the country.
No. The creditor can foreclose on the property (and virtually always do) since that is the way they get your name off of the deed and someone else's name on it. And, during this foreclosure, they will list you as a defendant since you are the property owner until the sheriff sale takes place. But, when the judgment is rendered in the foreclosure, it should be an "in rem" judgment, which means against the property only, and not an "in personam" judgment, which means against you personally. If they do get an in personam judgment against you, it is usually a good idea to notify the court and let them know about the bankruptcy so they remove the in personam judgment.
The only thing you can do is to make an offer to the person or agency that hold the judgment against you. But you should know that they do not have to accept your offer.
