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 the judgment debtor has a judgment against someone else, you can have that judgment assigned to you can you can then collect that judgment.

What happens if I am trying to pay a judgment against me but the other party isn't responding?

If this is a court ordered judgment and the other party is not cooperating, then they are not being compliant with the court's order, which puts them in the status of being in contempt of court. Notify, the court that ordered the judgment in writing, or by filing a motion, that you are attempting to follow the judgment but the other party is refusing to communicate with you.
