Judgement-Debt Help

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 05/08/2011 - 23:00

Hello, I live in Illinois. I have been sued and lost in court. Judgement entered. I do have a home paid off 100%. Could never get a home equity cause of my bad credit. Anyway, Can they put a lien on the home, even if I have a lien on it already for back taxes? Also, How common are sherriff sales, as in comming in your home and empty out everything you own? If we own the home jointly, and Illinois has a 4,000 exemption allowance, BUT the judgement is only in my name... can I double the 4 thousand allowance for my spouse also and make it eight?
