Welcome to the site!
I'm not sure how it works in NC, but I know here in Michigan, the way a judgement works is this:
-creditor goes to court, obtains judgement against you
-judgement shows up on your credit
-creditor may pursue further by going back to court to obtain a writ of garnishment against your paycheck
-garnishment goes to your employer for enforcement, employer starts taking money from your paycheck and sending it to the creditor in satisfaction of the garnishment.
I've not heard of a judgement being a tool used to take someone's personal property away from them, but I'm sure if that's possible, someone else on this site will comment on it soon. We've seen many different situtations, and there are others on this site who have more experience than I do in this type of situation.
