i can only speak for new york, but i am sure most states are similar...in NY a judgment is enforceable against real property for 10 years...it remains an individual debt for 20 years...it all depends on the statute in your particular state...my suggestion...call a nationally recognized title company in your area and speak with a title officer...the only thing that makes a judgment go away is a document called a Release or Satisfaction

An attempt was made at a residence I have lived at for 15 years. I do not live in the States. Can a summons that was not delivered become a judgment?

Service of summons must be perfected for it to ever come to a default judgment against the defendant. I'm sure they are looking at other avenues to serve you - but, at this point, it sounds as if you have yet to be properly served. So, no default judgment (which would only come after you not filing an answer in time AFTER your summons)


If a creditor has a judgment against you but has died who do you pay or how can you have the judgment removed?

The judgment would of come through the court system. You would need to contact the court to know who to pay. You can dispute the listing to the credit bureaus, but that doesn't mean it will be removed. They have 30 days to verify the listing and if it isn't verified it must be removed.
