Hi, all. New here so if I am on the wrong thread, please let me know. I did a search re : Judgment Mortgages but nothing relating to my query popped up. So here goes. On the 13/10/2011, Revenue received a judgment against me for non-payment of VAT. The original hearing had been adjourned due my non-appearance due to health reasons and the same health reasons caused me to miss the hearing on the above date. Suffice to say that my mental state was not even conducive to informing the court of this, so Revenue was awarded the judgment. Let me make it clear. I did not and am not disputing the fact that I owe Revenue a sum of VAT but an issue relating to the amount has arisen. However, that is not pertinent to my main concern as follows.
Moving on to the present, I recently received notification from The Property Registration Authority ( dated 20/11/2017 ) stating that a judgment mortgage had been registered against my interest in the family home. So, this is where my concerns arise. I am aware of the various ways in which the debt can be pursued e.g. Sheriff, installment orders, etc. What concerns me is that Revenue or it's agent could pursue the course of a force sale. The house is jointly owned by myself and my wife. So any information on Revenue's or its agent's policy on this would be greatly appreciated.
