FAQ
You can look at your credit report at .annualcreditreport or you can go to the local clerk for the courts and search the county database. If there are judgments in other jurisdictions you would have to look there as well.
A judgment creditor can file a lien with the court 22 days after the judgment is entered against the debtor, provided that the debtor has not appealed or moved to set the judgment aside. The lien is then sent to the register of deeds for recording in the county where the debtor lives.
One way to collect the debt is to get a Request and Order to Seize Property . This is a court order that tells a court-appointed officer to seize your property. The order expires after 90 days, but it can be renewed. Paying the judgment within 21 days of the judgment will prevent seizure of property.
In a Nutshell This court order allows them to collect on the debt by seizing your real or personal property (or putting a lien on it), garnishing your wages, or levying your bank account. Personal property includes everything from household goods to vehicles. Real property includes things like your home or land.
2809. (1) Unless subsection (2) or (3) applies, a judgment lien expires 5 years after the date it is recorded. (2) Unless subsection (3) applies, if a judgment lien is rerecorded under subsection (4), the judgment lien expires 5 years after the date it is rerecorded.
