Dear cappy,

Thank you for trusting your question with us.

I need a coupel of questions answered first.

1. In which county was the lien filed?

2. What year was it filed in?

3. Have there been any attempts by the debtor to collect on (perfect) the lien?

4. When did the company who placed the lien go out of business, AND what kind of company entity was it: i.e, partnership, C Corp, S Corp, LLC, etc.

5. When the lien was filed, did you appeal it?

6. When the judgement was obtained, were you represented in court?

Reply to Ed Johnson's Post: 1. The Judgement was filed in Dallas county, Texas and also it was filed 6 months later in my county ( or recorded if that is correct answer)

2. It was done sept 1996 will be out in 5 months but i cannot afford to wait til then
3. No attempts to collect that i know of i did not even know about this judgement until i have given my son property and he built and financed home judgement was 8 years old then.
4.Not sure when company went out of business it was several years ago i believe It was an INC. Business as was ours.
5.No i did not appeal i did not know it was there.
6. Not Represented in court did not know about it.

A little history to help you out with this i was forced out of company by friends i trusted we had been factoring invoices with the company that filed judgement. Business was growing very quickly and we had to have factoring ( it is a way to get invoices paid faster by losing small % to get money faster) to help float business. after i was forced out they moved business to dallas and to my understanding they bankrupted it about a year or so later. I was on original paperwork as a Gaurantor to richards capital inc ( company that filed judgement ).
