Does Illinois allow for judgments to be renewed after 7 years?
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.
What are the effects of release by the guarantor without the consent of creditor?
When a guarantor is released without the creditor's consent, it may jeopardize the creditor's ability to collect on the debt if the primary borrower defaults. The creditor may lose the guarantee provided by the guarantor, who may no longer be obligated to fulfill their obligations. This could lead to increased risk for the creditor and may impact the terms of the loan or credit agreement.
What are the state of Illinois garnishment statutes?
You can find the garnishment statutes in the Illinois Compiled Statutes starting at the section 735 ILCS 5/12-701. The Illinois Garnishment statute sets out the law regarding the garnishment of a third party such as an employer, insurer or other parties that might hold assets of another. For example, if you get into a car accident and you are sued and a judgment is entered against you, the plaintiff/judgment creditor might file a garnishment against your insurance seeking payment of the judgment from your insurance company. In other cases, a judgment creditor might garnish your bank to take the money from your accounts. You can look up the sections of the statute at your local law library or online. There are several websites with the exact language of the statute.
Can a creditor take a car that is in two names if the lawsuit is only against one person?
Generally, if the car is jointly owned, a creditor may be able to go after the co-owner's interest in the vehicle.

It is advisable to consult with a legal professional for guidance on this matter.
Does a creditor have to have a court order for garnish a bank account?
Yes. A creditor can not just simply walk into a bank and demand your money. Only a court can have a creditor take money from your bank account.

A supreme court decision stopped that racket in Arizona.

If you are getting harassing phone calls at home or work (yes, they are allowed to call you at work), you can send them a written letter stating that you no longer want them to call you at home or work (sent via registered mail with return receipt). The creditor would then be allowed to call you one more time to verify receipt of your letter. Creditors are also not allowed to call you before 7am or after 9pm. Due to privacy isses, creditors are not allowed to tell your employer or others not listed on the credit account why they are calling.
