A creditor may (but is not required to) issue a garnishment as soon as a judgment becomes final (10 days in general sessions court or 30 days for circuit or chancery court).

By the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, the creditor may collect for ten years from the date of judgment or last payment, which ever is latest. That means if you received service (bought something) on 1 January 2010, failed to pay on it, and the creditor obtained the judgment on 1 December 2010, they may continue collection, garnishment, until 1 December 2020, provided they received nothing each time they attempted garnishment. If they received as little as one cent, the time resets each time they receive payment. Your best course of action is to pay the balance in full as soon as possible.
