I had a lien filed against me for a judgement against just me (not spouse). My home is held a Tenancy by The Entirety with spouse. The judgement holder tried to foreclose on my "survivorship interest", which went nowhere. Do I have to pay this to sell my house or is there some workaround?... Read more »
You interest could possibly be executed upon. Most buyers will not take your title however. Judgment Liens are good for ten years from date of Judgment, unless extended, which happens frequently. Even it the Lien lapses, it will still be in your title unless the creditor or a court removes it.... Read more »
Step trying collect my money
Obviously you did not check out your target prior to suit, which is a mistake. It may or may not be ever collectible. In your situation, hiring a collection attorney is probably the best option because learning about assets and collection methods would be difficult and useless.
I called a bankruptcy lawyer in 2020, she said it was not worth going bankrupt if I was on social security. Social security could not be garnished. So I just stopped paying the loan company, the balance is a little over $3000.
Hire a competent attorney to examine your assets. When you are served with suit, then file a Notice of Exempt Property.
It can be as arguably disturbing the peace, and the LEO might find other charges. You can defend yourself in Court, but the Judge is not going to be impressed with First Amendment Rights, even if he dismisses the same. Be careful of Contempt of Court.

Your contract is apparently with SW Transport. Read the contract as it will have some disclaimers of liability. But it may give SW as your agent the power to hire another party to perform the contractual duty. If under $ 25K you might sue both carriers in Sessions Court and let them blame each... Read more »
