If the plaintiff wins the lawsuit they are awarded a judgment. A judgment can be used to garnish the debtor's wages or levy bank accounts, place liens against real property owned by the debtor and other actions depending upon the laws of the state in which the debtor lives. In certain situations a judgment lien holder can petition for a forced sale of real property owned by a debtor. Although the forced sale of a primary residence is difficult and judgment creditors seldom take the action, it is in the majority of US states a possibility.

If you sell a car you owe a creditor a balance on, you pay the creditor the amount you owe him in order to get the title to the vehicle to turn over to your buyer. Anything over the balance owed to the creditor is yours to keep, assuming you sold it for more than you owed on it.
