The seven year rule usually applies to a credit report entry not the length of a judgment.
In Illinois judgments are usually valid for 20 years with the addition of a new law they can now be revived (renewed) for another 7 after the expiration of the original one. However, the judgment creditor/holder must petition for the renewal before the 20 year time limit expires.
This is one of several reasons why a judgment lien is so damaging to the judgment debtor. Another one being that judgment amounts accrue interest until they are paid.

How long will a civil judgment stay on a credit report in Washington State?
Seven years. However some types of judgments are renewable and can remain on a report indefinitely. The length of time a judgment may show on your credit report is established by the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681c, 605(a)(2). It reads "...Information excluded from consumer reports...civil judgments...that from date of entry, antedate the report by more than seven years or until the governing statute of limitations has expired..." So, any judgment would be displayed for 7 years from the date of entry (filing), regardless of the state it was filed in. The time period a judgment is valid is determined by state law. In Washington that time period is 10 years. After 7 years from date of filing the judgment would no longer show on your credit report, but other actions allowable by law: placing a lien on real property, wage garnishment and seizure of bank accounts would still be possible. Washington state also allows judgments to be renewed. Should a plaintiff choose to do so, any unpaid judgment could be renewed for another 10 year period. The renewal, being a new filing, would cause another listing on your credit report, which would appear for 7 years from the new date of entry.

Can you file bankruptcy if you have charged off and judgment accounts 10 years ago?
If those are the only debts, the question becomes, what is the statute of limitations on the debt and the judgments. Some states limit judgments to ten years, some twenty, and some of the ten-year states allow extension of collection on the judgment to another ten years. If the debts and judgments are no longer collectible, why file? Nothing prevents you from filing, however.
