Re: Judgements

I don't fully understand your question. If you had a statute of limitations defense, you should have raised it when you were sued. Once they got a judgment, you may have waived your defense. You can check with a litigation attorney.

Otherwise, I am unaware of a statute of limitations on judgments. They last for 10 years but can be renewed at that time if the Creditor wants.
