FAQ
The judgment lien is not going to impact a homesteaded property so the mortgage lender would be able to obtain a first lien on your property. So, as long as you otherwise qualify for a mortgage, the judgment lien should not be a problem.
Creditors typically acquire property liens through your voluntary consent. On the other hand, creditors get judgment liens after winning a lawsuit against you for a debt you owe.
Generally, to file a judgment lien, an abstract of judgment must be issued by the justice court. Some justice courts have a form available on their website to request an abstract of judgment.
And a homeowner may find it difficult to sell any property that has a lien against it. Prospective buyers may avoid a property to which someone else has a claim.
In Texas, judgment liens take priority over subsequent liens, claims, encumbrances, and are subordinate to previous liens, claims, encumbrances, and conveyances found of record.
Essentially, consensual liens don't adversely affect your credit as long as repayment terms are satisfied. Judgment and most statutory liens have a negative impact on your credit score and report, which affect your ability to obtain financing in the future.
Your credit score should go up quite a bit once your CCJ is removed from your credit record. However, it is hard to give you a clear estimate on how big your score improvement will be, as credit scores depend on many things. On average, most people see an increase of about 200-250 points.
Since judgments no longer appear on your credit report, they do notdirectly impact your credit score. However, financial choices and behaviors that lead to having a judgment on your report may indirectly affect your score. You may have outstanding balances, debts, collections and more.
