FAQ

If the unsecured creditors don't file a claim within the estate within 6 months of the date of death, they are barred from collecting the debt.

A creditor who obtains a judgment against you is the "judgment creditor." You are the "judgment debtor" in the case. A judgment lasts for 12 years and the plaintiff can renew the judgment for another 12 years.

Because of something known as a statute of limitations, some debts become unenforceable after six years. This means that creditors can no longer chase you or take legal action against you for the amount owed.

Maryland is a consumer-friendly state. The statute of limitations allows a creditor three years to collect on debts. That's a shorter timeframe than many states.

Keep in mind that making a partial payment or acknowledging you owe an old debt, even after the statute of limitations expired, may restart the time period.

In Maryland, a judgment is only valid for twelve (12) years. If you have not been able to collect your judgment within that time, you will have to renew the judgment to continue your collection efforts. Complete the Request to Renew Judgment (form DC-CV-023) and file it with the court.

Once the waiting period passes, there are three different ways you can collect on the judgment: Garnishing the other person's wages; Garnishing the other person's bank account; or. Seizing the other person's personal property or real estate.

Once the Order of Default is issued, the defendant has 30 days to respond and explain why they did not answer the initial Complaint and/or why the Order of Default should not proceed. If the Defendant does not respond to the Order of Default, the case will be scheduled for an uncontested hearing.

Rule 2-519 - Motion for Judgment (a) Generally. A party may move for judgment on any or all of the issues in any action at the close of the evidence offered by an opposing party, and in a jury trial at the close of all the evidence.
