Re: leased repo

They cannot just "put a judgment against you." To get a judgment, they must file suit against you, you must be served with the petition and you will be given opportunity to defend the case, which I would encourage you to do. If they get a judgment, it will not operate as a lien against your homestead, not even if you sell it.
