I would contact one of the 3-national credit agencies or someone in the mortgage or automobile industry and ask them to run your credit. You will then have a report which shows all outstanding debts and Judgments.
A credit check is a good place to start. It should show not just your credit accounts but judgments as well. And there can't be a lien without a judgment.
