Best Answer

It depends on your state laws. Check your state laws to see how long a judgment can be enforced and if judgments are "renewable" in your state. My state (Georgia) length of time a judgment (lien) can be enforced is seven years unless the creditor requests a renewal of the judgment by filing in court again. Then they have seven more years to attempt to enforce the judgment.
