If the lawsuit was filed before the expiration of the state's SOL then the suit is valid and a judgment award would be valid and could be executed against the debtor according to the laws of the debtor's state.

Do you still owe the money if a lawyer buys a 7 year old repossession account and how will it affect your credit?

A judgment occurs when a creditor takes you to court, sues you, and wins his case against you. The creditor must do this before the statute of limitations has expired for the original debt. Typically, the court will try and contact you via mail, but they do not need proof that you were contacted, and you do not have to be present for your creditor to win. The creditor only has to provide proof that the debt is owed. You want to avoid this at all costs; for it is after a judgment is issued that a creditor can seize bank accounts, assets, or garnish wages. In addition, it is easy to renew a judgment once its statute of limitations has passed. In effect, if the creditor is diligent about his renewals, you could find yourself in the position where a judgment against you never expires. A judgment will drop off your credit report after seven years, but your creditor can hound you until the debt is paid.

Can a judgment lien be removed from a property without paying it off?

No. You cannot "remove" a lien without paying the amount due and recording an appropriate discharge from the creditor. The only other way a lien will become inactive is when the statute of limitations has passed and the creditor has not recorded an extension of the original lien. For example, In Massachusetts a recorded attachment is good for six years. If the creditor wants to continue the lien, an extension must be recorded before the six year period expires. If not done, the attachment will be no longer effective.


Does Illinois allow for judgments to be renewed after 7 years?

The seven year rule usually applies to a credit report entry not the length of a judgment. In Illinois judgments are usually valid for 20 years with the addition of a new law they can now be revived (renewed) for another 7 after the expiration of the original one. However, the judgment creditor/holder must petition for the renewal before the 20 year time limit expires. This is one of several reasons why a judgment lien is so damaging to the judgment debtor. Another one being that judgment amounts accrue interest until they are paid.
