You can't really collect a judgment unless you are going to use a collection service. You can also ask the court for a garnishment. Having a judgment does not mean that is automatically collected.

If I sign an acknowledgement of assignment of judgment am I giving up my right to collect?

If you are the 'creditor' of judgment and you sign for a third party to collect, then YES, your right to collect is given up. Because once that is signed you just signed over your judgment over to the third party, and it is considered THEIR judgment now. BUT you will still get your money judgment from the third party.

How do you sell a judgment?

You can contact a 3rd party company. They will then either purchase the judgment from you, paying you a percentage of the amount owed on the judgment and they then become the owner of the judgment. OR you can contact a collection agency and they will attempt to collect on the judgment and will take a percentage of what they collect, IF they collect anything. Most collection agencies seem to take months upon months before they collect anything and sometimes even tell you "Sorry, we couldn't collect for you." A good way to get an idea of the process is to go to Google, type "judgment buyer" in the search field. You will get alot of companies. Read through the websites carefully and find out their procedures. I just used floridajudgmentbuyer.com and had no problem at all. But, that's just my experience. Good Luck!

Who get paid after winning a lawsuit?

If the plaintiff (that is the person who filed the law suit) wins (i.e. is awarded a judgment), then they can attempt to collect the money that they were awarded by the Court. There is no guarantee that they will be able to collect any money, as the Court is not involved in this process and it is up to each individual plaintiff to collect on their judgment.
