To resolve this, contact your bank immediately, inquire about the freeze, and provide any necessary documentation related to the fraud report. Seek clarification on the... View More
The car needs $8000+ in repairs mechanically and the car is not worth that so it is pointless to dump money into it.

I'm trying to buy a car and I have no credit due to being incarcerated most of my adult life

No. You can pay cash if you choose, or pay with a credit card, etc.
Most lenders who provide financing for traditional car loans, however, will require a down payment as a condition of making a loan. That is both typical and legal.

The deed to your house is not kept at a court, but is publicly recorded and maintained at the Office of the Recorder of Deeds for the county in which your house is located.

Is there a statue of limitations all info is old can I get it off my lien

In Pennsylvania a judgment lasts forever until it is paid. However, it constitutes a lien only for five years, unless it is renewed. Thus, if this judgment was not renewed, the judgment remains, but it does not constitute a lien unless and until it were to be renewed.
