The answer to your question is generally no. If someone wants to put a lien on the property, they must get the court's approval to do so. For example if it is a contractor, then they must advise the owner of their intent to place a lien on a home.
Removing judgments from your credit report requires a combination of negotiation, dispute resolution, and, in some cases, legal intervention. Consulting a consumer protection lawyer becomes crucial when facing complex legal issues or when violations of consumer protection laws are apparent.
If your debt judgment is unpaid, it will form an immediate lien if you buy a house. So no mortgage lender will lend. At closing time they'll find it you also need to disclose the judgment in the application. Failing to do so is misrepresentation.
Lien and Judgment Negotiation Locate your creditor and find out how much you owe: This can often be the most challenging part of lien negotiation. Evaluate and explain whether it is worth it to try and negotiate the lien or judgment: Some liens are negotiable and some aren't. Negotiate: Negotiation is an art.
Judgements can become a first lien against a property. Lenders generally want to be first lien when it comes to mortgages. So yes, it will be deal breaker for most mortgage companies. I've seen mortgages get denied because of a $6000 judgement.

If a creditor puts a lien on your property, you may make an offer to settle the amount for less than you owe. As part of the negotiations, get the creditor to release the lien. Consider hiring a debt settlement lawyer to help you if you need help in the negotiations.
