Absolutely not. It is not unusual for a judgment to be awarded to a creditor, but it cannot be "satisfied" because the debtor is deemed judgment proof. Meaning the person has no assets that can be seized for the amount of the judgment. However, in most cases judgments are renewable. Creditors may continue to do this, based on the premise the debtor at a future date will have property or income the judgment can be executed upon.

∙ 17y agoNO * No, owing a judgment is not a criminal offense. The judgment creditor can execute the judgment against debtor's property to recover monies owed. The preferred method of collecting on a judgment is wage garnishment or bank account levy (including joint accounts). Other options available to the judgment creditor are the seizure and liquidation of non exempt property belonging to the debtor, or liens against real property.

∙ 11y agoFor unpaid debts the Law protect you from jailing, except if it is a case of fraud. what they do is harass you with calls, garnish your bank account, salaries, etc. depending to whom you owe, private people normally could not do much, except report you to a credit bureau and ask a collection agency to get the money from you. All the judge could do is say that the debt is legit and that you do owe this person or company the sum. Some debts have a limit like 7 years or 12 depending of the State or type of debt, or 4 for others types of debts. Some debts are forever like students loans, but they too can be forgiven or put in bankruptcy court depending on circumstances.

∙ 12y ago(in the US) You cannot go to jail for a civil law judgement, there are no debtors prisons. However, make no mistake, there are penalties for not paying the judgement which can include either the seizure, or the liening, of your personal property equal to the monetary amount of the judgement.
