short answer is "NO". BUT, if you want to sell your home, or re-finance it you would have to pay off the lien first. Liens are judgments. Judgments are finalized debts. They grow larger each year by 9%. you may turn around years from now and find that lien has grown quite large...I would counsel you to settle and make monthly payments...
