What if you were never notified that you were being sued and a judgment ends up on you record?

In order to get a judgment, a plaintiff must give proper notice, or service, in a lawsuit. If you were not served, the judgment is invalid.
Check the court documents to find out the method of service. Generally, service is made in person. However, sometimes it can be made by mail or publication. If the method of service is improper or not properly noted, you have the necessary means to attack the judgment and defend the lawsuit.
You probably need to speak with an attorney licensed in your state to assist you with this.

If the judgment was reported to the credit bureaus, the tenant needs to pay it, get the judgment amended to zero by the court, and send that to the credit bureaus. However, the fact that there was a case can never be erased.

If the judgment was paid, and you want that reflected on the record, you should file a motion in the court that issued the judgment, to 'Amend Judgment to Zero'. You could also contact the plaintiff's attorney listed on the judgment and ask him/her to file the satisfaction.

Try to make a payment arrangement before they get a judgment against you. If you didn't directly notify them of all address & enrollment changes, you breached every student loan contract I've ever read.

How long after a person died will his executor who is his solicitor let you know?
This can vary from immediate notification to never being notified at all, and it may have much to do with how close, or 'in-touch' your family is. If the Executor of the deceased's estate finds you are named an heir in the will you must, by law, be notified, but (in the US) if you are not provided for in the will, there is no legal rquirement that you be notified at all.

What can you do if you were sued 6 years ago but never notified and a lien placed on your house over an account on which you were an authorized user?
There is something amiss here. An authorized user is not responsible for the account. You cannot be sued without being notified. So, you must have received a summons by some means. Unless they were unable to find you, then there would have been a public notice in the paper. If the lien is a result of you being an authorized user, rather than a joint account holder it is invalid. It will not "go away" until you contact the court where the judgment was issued and get things straightened out. ASAP
How do you fight a Judgment that has been awarded to a plaintiff because you were never informed of the court date or even that you were being sued?
You file a motion with the court that entered the judgment to have the judgment vacated and set aside due to lack of jurisdiction over you. The court cannot enter a judgment against you unless you have notice of the request (service of a summons and complaint) and an opportunity to be heard (appearing at trial). This is not the ame as appealing the improper judgment.
Do you have a criminal Record to an employer if you successfully completed a Felony Deferred Adjudication case?
It depends upon the terms of the agreement itself. A deferred adjudication CAN mean that if you comply with specific terms set out in the agreement, a judgment in your case is never entered on the record, therefore you have NO record. It may also mean that if you comply with the terms, your FELONY will be reduced to a misdemeanor conviction, meaning you DO have a record.
Can a judgment that you never were notified about with your name spelled wrong be recorded if your ex-spouse kept the info from you until you found out years later?
Even though the name may be wrong, if the judgment applies to you, there is little you can do about it, unless you can prove that you did not know about, authorize, or sign for the debt. You may be able to recover from your ex-spouse if you can prove fraud, but it will probably cost a lot of money and agony in protracted legal proceedings.
