It will likely need to be cleared up. Did you ever pay it? With that credit score you are good to go with an FHA loan but you will likely need to address the lien. If it was paid back then you would just need to provide the proof to the lender and you'd be fine.

After 7 years this debt becomes what is called Zombie debt. You can petition to have it removed from your credit report due to to it being 13 years old.Wendy

If it shows up on your credit report, most lenders will make you pay it or provide proof that it's already been paid. The fear being if it's still outstanding, it may attach itself to the title of your new property ahead of our lien position when we file your mortgage.
