If there wa not sufficient service upon you in 1999, then there may nto have been personal jurisdiction for the court to enter a judgment against you. If the judgmetn wa snot legitiamte, then you can seek to have ti set aside. Although there was nto jursidiction for an inpersonam (for $ to be paid by you) judgment, therr may have been jurisdiction for an In Rem (for an interest in property) judgment. Hire an attorney to look at your specific situation to see if this lien cn be removed from your present property.

Good Luck
