Typically, you may not receive a direct notification if a judgment is renewed. It is generally the responsibility of the creditor to file for a renewal, and they may not always inform the debtor. However, you can check court records or contact the court to verify the status of a judgment against you. It's advisable to stay informed about any legal matters that may affect you.
