This is a relatively complicated matter, but if you sold the vehicle 3+ years ago, and no longer have any legal interest in the vehicle, but you failed to pay the outstanding balance on the loan, the lender has a legal right to the judgment against you. They cannot outright take any property of yours. They can garnish your wages, your bank accounts, and secure any monetary accounts you have. They can petition the court for the sale of other real property you have. If you have any other loans with this lender that are secured by collateral, they may convert that collateral and secure it to cover the outstanding judgment.

They cannot legally secure the car from the other owner in New York state. It is a lien loss. The contract they have is with you. The vehicle no longer secures that contract.

And, whether or not you have knowledge of the judgment, they can have it enforced. As you were not present when they secured it, it is a default judgment. Unless you can prove they did not take due dilligence in having you served (and good luck with that impossible feet), the judgment is legal and binding.

What does execution of judgment is stayed until final payment is received at which time judgment will be deemed satisfied mean and will the judgment actually be filed as to reach my credit report?

This statement means that the enforcement of the judgment will be postponed until the final payment is made. Once the payment is received in full, the judgment will be considered satisfied.
