No, a domestic judgment is not renewable in Mississippi. Once a judgment has been entered, it is enforceable for a period of 7 years. If the judgment is not satisfied within that time, the creditor may seek a writ of execution to collect on the judgment.
A judgment creditor seldom lets a judgment lapse. That would mean the entire process of filing a lawsuit and being granted a judgment wasted effort. The only option of the debtor is to pay the judgment amount or reach a settlement agreement of some type with the judgment holder.
It expires after one year. It can be renewed every year until the judgment expires. In New York, a judgment can be renewed twice (a total of 20 years).
In South Carolina, a judgment is valid for 10 years and can be renewed for an additional 10 years. After 20 years, the judgment will no longer be enforceable.
Yes, if the judgment was renewed before the expiration date.
No, you cannot use your passport while it is being renewed.
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.
Define "renewed." Once a judgment of the court has been delivered (unless it is peculiarly time-sensitive) it doesn't need renewal , nor does it expire unless a motion is presented to the court to alter or vacate the original judgment.
They can actually sue you to obtain a judgment against you. Under the state's law in which you are sued, judgments can have dire financial consequences which extend far into the future. These include wage garnishment, bank account seizure, damage to your credit and the possibility of the judgment being renewed. You may be "judgement proof" at this time, but a judgment that can be renewed indefinitely imperils you financially for the rest of your life.
The majority of judgments can be renewed, indefinitely. Some, such as liens on real property are good for twenty years and can also be renewed. The type of judgment and the state laws need to be taken into consideration.
No. A judgment must be renewed within 10 years under California Code of Civil Procedure, section 337.5 or it becomes unenforceable. However, if a defendant failed to timely raise this statute of limitations in defense, it could be waived.
A judgment in South Carolina is generally enforceable for 10 years, but can be renewed for an additional 10-year period if necessary.
