This is not a tax lien. Its in the state of PA.
How long does a judgement lien/levy hang over your head? When can you stop worrying about them coming to collect personal property.
There was a judgement made in June 2012. Aug 2012 the sheriff came and collected all the personal property listed on the levy that they could find. There was a sheriff sale held. The sale profit didnt come close to the judgement amount. Its been years since there has been any word or action on this judgement. How long does someone have to worry about the personal property not recovered on that judgement? Its been 5 years.
A: Generally 6 years then it can be revived. You can declare bankruptcy. Might want to get a conuslt with a consumer lawyer to find out what your options are.
