Consumer debt judgments entered after January 1, 2020 last 7 years and can be revived once for another 7 years. The creditor must ask the court to revive the judgment before 10 years have passed since it was first entered. This gives the creditor a total of 17 years to collect.

A "Default Judgment" is similar to a Judge's order in that it can be used to place a lien on your property, garnish your wages and/or affect your credit. The city usually requests that the maximum fine be imposed in default matters.

Illinois law governs the time limit for enforcing judgment and states “no judgment shall be enforced after the expiration of 7 years from the time the same is rendered.”1 The same statute allows the 7-year limitation period to be extended “upon the revival of the judgment by a proceeding.”

Enforcement proceedings (also known as collection actions) to collect judgments are governed primarily by 735 ILCS 5/2-1402. This statute provides three main tools for enforcing and collecting judgments: (1) the Citation to Discover Assets; (2) wage garnishment proceedings; and (3) non-wage garnishment proceedings.

Do I Have to Go to a Wage Garnishment Hearing? If the court provides for a garnishment hearing, you must attend that hearing to protect your wages. The hearing date and time are either provided automatically with the initial garnishment notice or given to you later after you've filed your objection.

If you wish to fight renewal of judgment, you must file a motion to vacate the renewal within 30 days of receipt notice of renewal.
