long story short there is a judgement against me and my parents. my parents never went to appeal it and i never even knew about it so the judge ordered in plaintiff's favor. now they levied my bank accounts, and there was a letter in the mail that in 10 days they can come and do a sherrif's sale on anything that we own(we are in new jersey). what do they do, do you have to have a warrant, can they just come when they please?

I don't think they need a warrant for a sheriff's sale but you need to get an attorney as quickly as you can - go to legal aid if you can't afford one. - the fact that you were not aware of the judgment may be a reason to get the sale postponed and perhaps make some arrangement to pay off the judgment without having everything sold and there may be other legal tings that you can do but you need an attorney to look into this for you as soon as you can!! Good Luck to you!!

Not appealing or fighting it will not help you when they come to do the Sheriffs sale. I have to assume someone knew about the lien and just thought it would "go away" if ignored. I don't think there is much you can do now. They don't need a warrant since they will be carrying a court order.
