A judgment is a lien on all your assets until paid off.

Yes and they can do a whole lot more like garnish your wages and seize your bank accounts even if they are not with that bank.
Therefore try to resolve the matter before that happens or if it has already you might want to consider bankruptcy depending on your financial situation.
Good luck and hope this helps.
