Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

I had a student loan 8 yrs ago with a private university I didn't pay... They took me to court and it ended on a final judgment against me... I recently tried to refinance my home but couldn't because it.... I've been under the impression creditors couldn't take your primary home here in the state of Florida... Is that not the case?? Should i be concerned about losing my home?
