What does it mean if a case is disposed? How to remove a lien off house?

You could file an order to show cause to void the lien. You could allege improper service, among other defenses, as to the debt itself and the amount of the debt. It does get back to the basic question - are you liable for the actual debt. If you are, you should make arrangements to pay it off, knowing that it is accruing interest.

When you find out that a judgment has been entered against you, normally by discovering that your wages are being garnished or the bank account has been frozen, you still have a couple of options. In most States the Courts allow you to reopen and challenge a “default judgment”. Most States will allow a year to accomplish this. If you did not get the paperwork for the lawsuit, or you got the paperwork but never did anything, then the judgment was “entered” due to your default to file an Answer. You have to bring a motion in the Court where the judgment is filed. That motion normally has to include a defense to the charges and a copy of your proposed Answer. You should definitely get a local lawyer to help you with this, or seek the assistance of a Bankruptcy attorney to get rid of the liability.
