If you have a judgment and after 7 years it's off your credit does that mean that the creditor can't put a lien on any of your property?

I don't know if the laws are the same everywhere, but we had to get a judgment against someone and had a lien placed on his house. We were told that if we went back to court before the 7 years were up we could get another judgment against him and keep the lien in place. He's had a lien on his home for over 10 years now -- and until he pays his debt or the law changes we'll keep going back to court. Of course, he owes us a LOT of money.

A judgment has to be renewed by the plaintiff at set intervals, determined by law. You can find the SOL relative to judgments for your state, and if the statute has expired, contact the court to see if the judgment has been renewed by the plaintiff. If not, they can't collect.
