[QUOTE=ransomedbyfire;1131159]My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: South Carolina

I have 3 judgments against me from two creditors. I went to my county's clerk of court register of deeds page and looked up my house. I see the deed and two mortgages. But I don't see anything about a judgment lien.

Unless I'm looking in the wrong place, what does this mean?

Yes, you were looking in the wrong places. I suggest that you revisited the county clerk's office and complete your homework by examining the BOOK OF ABSTRACTS OF JUDGMENTS.

If a transcript of a judgment were filed with the county clerk it would have been docketed and indexed in the book of abstracts of judgments where it would have become a lien upon your real estate situated in that county. There is no requirement under South Carolina law that a transcript of a judgment must be docketed and indexed in the deed register in order to become a lien. And the reason is quiet obvious. The transcript of judgment does not contain a description of the judgment debtor's real estate. Its a blanket lien.
