Q: In Colorado,can we be forced to sell our home if there's a judgement lien from Credit Card debt ($22,000) on the home?

Can a creditor foreclose on your home to satisfy a Lien? Yes. But, you will have an opportunity to prevent the foreclosure and it is seldom financially feasible to foreclose to collect on a debt that small.

Have you considered BK to eliminate the debt?
