A writ of judgment is a court order giving the winning plaintiff the right to collect money owed according to state laws. Judgments can be used to obtain wage garnishment, bank account levy, liqudation of nonexempt property that belongs to the debtor or liens against real property. Most judgment liens can be (are) renewed until they are paid, which means they can stay on a credit report an indefinite period of time. Without knowing what type of judgment or state in which it was awarded it is not possible to say if there is a time frame in which it needs be executed.

There is no limitation on how long a bill collector has to attempt to collect a debt. The statute of limitations on taking legal action is another matter. Even if your bill is old, and no longer shows on your credit report, a bill collector can still attempt to collect it from you. If it's over the statute of limitations, they would not be able to collect in court, but they are not prohibited from contacting you for payment. Refer to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) for more information on the Federal law governing collection activity.
