What can you do if you were sued 6 years ago but never notified and a lien placed on your house over an account on which you were an authorized user?

Answer

There is something amiss here. An authorized user is not responsible for the account. You cannot be sued without being notified. So, you must have received a summons by some means. Unless they were unable to find you, then there would have been a public notice in the paper. If the lien is a result of you being an authorized user, rather than a joint account holder it is invalid. It will not "go away" until you contact the court where the judgment was issued and get things straightened out. ASAP

Are you notified if a lien is placed?  Your business closed 15 years ago can you be sued now?  Why did you get a lien on your account for a debt over seven years old?
