for anyone wishing to check his or her own credit report, please use annualcreditreport.com, as this is the only authorized site in use - authorized by the major credit reporting agencies.

for credit-related and rights-related inquiries, you ought to check ftc.gov - the federal trade commission's site.

not until he defaults on that judgment, and even then there'd have to be a foreclosure notice filed, you file your response, and things drag on and on until resolved.

conceivable? yes. will it take forever and a day? yes, i'd say so.

Hi vaso,

The creditor can place a lien on the jointly owned property. Whenever you try to sell off the property, you will have to satisfy the lien first.

Thanks

don't worry about real estate being taken gina...the judgment will sit until it's paid off. the creditor could file a judgment lien against your property and simply wait for payment when you sell the property, if you do. they could (very slim possibility) file a foreclosure notice, but you'd have ample opportunity to repay the debt before you'd ever run the risk of losing the land.

Hello, I received a judgment against me from a creditor for 10k. A lien has been placed on my husdands home which I reside in. Is it legal in GA to place liens on property that's not owned by the debtor? If not, how can I release the judgment?

Hi Julia,

Is your name mentioned on your husband's property deed? If your name is mentioned on the property deed, then you are one of the owners of the property. If your name is not mentioned on the property deed, then your creditor cannot place a lien on your husband's property for your debts. You need to contact your attorney and take legal steps against your creditor.

Thanks
julia

Hello,

No my name is not mentioned on the property deed. I will consult with an attorney.

Thank you for your response.
