Hello y:

If they have lien on your home, it means the judgment has to be paid of OUT OF THE PROCEEDS of the sale.. It does NOT mean the house can't be sold.

WHO told you this?? I'd seek another opinion - probably a lawyers.

If the people who you have a judgement from, have placed a lien on the home or notified that they plan to do a lien, then while you may sell theproperty, at closing the lien will have to be paid in full from the proceedes of the sell.

Will there be enough money at the sell to pay off the judgement
