Timing to Collect
This information is for cases in County Court or Small Claims Court.
Timing to Collect (County Court or Small Claims Court)
You, as a Judgment Creditor, can collect immediately after judgment entered.
You have time to collect! A judgment is good for 6 years from judgment date in County Court. (Judgments can be revived if a Motion to Revive is made before the expiration date—See JDF 112.) Motions to Revive must be personally served upon the judgment debtor.
What do I do after I get a judgment? It is the judgment creditor’s responsibility to collect the judgment. The Clerk and the Court DO NOT collect the judgment for him/her. See JDF 82.
