A judgment creditor cannot levy on your 401(k), but they can levy on your bank account and money from a 401(k) distribution would be vulnerable if it was in your bank account at the time the levy occurred. Filing a homestead does not prohibit a judgment creditor from filing a lien against your home. The judgment creditor can wait for you to sell or refinance your home. If there is enough equity in your home to pay off the mortgage and your homestead, there might be enough equity to be able to force a sale of your home.

Does a repo really hurt your credit for 7 yrs even if you pay what is owed fairly quickly?

Yes. First, the late payments on the vehicle will hurt your credit for 7 years. Then the repossession reporting will affect your credit for 7 years. Finally, any collection judgment filed by the tow company (if applicable) or lender will hurt your credit for 7 years from the date of the last activity (not date it was filed). Paying the deficiency quickly may keep you from having a judgment filed, but the repo still occurred and will still be reported.
