You can contact a 3rd party company. They will then either purchase the judgment from you, paying you a percentage of the amount owed on the judgment and they then become the owner of the judgment. OR you can contact a collection agency and they will attempt to collect on the judgment and will take a percentage of what they collect, IF they collect anything. Most collection agencies seem to take months upon months before they collect anything and sometimes even tell you "Sorry, we couldn't collect for you." A good way to get an idea of the process is to go to Google, type "judgment buyer" in the search field. You will get alot of companies. Read through the websites carefully and find out their procedures. I just used floridajudgmentbuyer.com and had no problem at all. But, that's just my experience. Good Luck!

A judgment is coming against you in the near future. You now purchase land with owner financing. Could this down-the-road judgment force the land to sell considering the funds you used to purchase?

That depends on the laws in your state. Generally, if the debt is large enough to justify the cost of a siezure and sale and if there is enough equity in the land the judgment creditor could sieze the land and keep it or sell it. However, if there is a recorded mortgage prior to the judgment the land will be subject to that mortgage. On the other hand the judgment creditor could simply record the judgment lien in the land records and keep it updated. Under those circumstances you couldn't refinance or sell the property without paying the lien.

What happens after a judgment of foreclosure on a mortgage?

In very broad terms, the judgment creditor can apply to the court for a writ of sale and have the sheriff sell the property at a public auction. The exact time line will vary by state and will depend on whether or not you are entitled to a deficiency judgment. For example, California has two different time lines. If a deficiency judgment is not available or the creditor waives the right to get a deficiency judgment, then the sheriff gives 120 days notice of levy and 20 days notice of sale. if there is the right to have a deficiency judgment, the sale occurs after 30 days but the owner has a 90-day right of redemption.

Have the judgment recorded with the recorder's office in whatever state and county you are in. It won't help you collect on the judgment, but if that person tries to sell or buy property there will be a lien that will have to be cleared up prior to doing either.

If you need to sell your joint-owned house in Florida but you have a judgment against you not a lien will you have to pay the judgment first?

If the judgment was not perfected as a lien against the property (which is almost impossible in Florida), the property is not encumbered and the title should be clear, thereby not causing a problem with the sale. The judgment holder will probably be able to execute the judgment as a bank account levy and/or seize funds garnered from the sale of the homestead.

Can you take ownership of property by filing a lien?

No. A lien doesn't give you ownership. First, you must sue in court and win to obtain a judgment lien. A homeowner cannot sell or mortgage their property until a judgment lien is paid. You may be able to foreclose on the judgment lien in your state. If the lien isn't paid you can consult with an attorney in your state regarding how to foreclose on a judgment lien. Legal costs may be expensive.
