I have a question. I had quick claim myself of the home my ex currently owns in 2002. Apparently, he received a fine for his lawn and didn't pay it. I just found out a judgment was filed against myself and my ex. Again I have been off title since 2002 and he had refinance his home into his own name in 2003. The judgment was filed in 2009. Doesn't the HOA have to verify who is currently on title before they file a judgment? The judgment has since been satisfied but I'm upset because it still showing on my credit. Any advice???

You mean quit claim.

It is not unusual to be incorrectly cited in a legal action. Could happen even because of a coincidence of names (I have had it happen to me). You should (1) follow up directly with the credit bureau AND 2) have a lawyer write a stern latter to the HOA. Or write the letter yourself and put cc: to a lawyer-sounding name. Worked for me.
