Re: judgment

It's up to the holder/winner of the judgment to collect on it, and when they do, they file a "satisfaction of judgment" with the court and the county recorder. Thus, it'd be up to you to find out from the creditor whether it's been paid. If you're the holder of the judgment, you'll have to see an attorney or do some research regarding how to collect on the judgment.

Re: judgment

The question is who the hell are you in relation to the judgment. Judgment creditor, court clerk or just plain old Joe Schmo??? If you that ultimate obtain or of the money by question is where is he supposed to pay it. How is the judgment arrived at, it wasn't entered in court and are their instructions in the judgment for payment. My got more questions than the one line you presented. Is that leading given of information. Basically read you judgment to begin with. Hopefully, and I'd probably wrong, it had an attorney in this situation. Call the attorney. Now if there is nothing in the judgment and no attorney you had the present so what was agreed upon between you all. If you didn't talk about it, don't you think you should've an attorney. They me now or pay me more later.i have been practicing law in this speciality for over 30 years in the san francisco bay area and if you wish to consult with me you can contact me at 925-945-6000.

Re: judgment

Your status with respect to the judgment -- i.e., whether you are the judgment debtor, creditor, guarantor, collection agency, garnished employer, will determine whether you receive a formal notification. Further, some notifications are sent as a courtesy only rather than being required by law. More often than not, an interested party must keep his own records and gather his own information.

The person who is most likely to know the answer is the creditor with the largest stake and/or the one with the toughest lawyer or most tenacious collection agency. If this isn't you, ask them. If this describes you, you already know.
