Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
7 year ago my landlord won a judgement on me. They never contacted me where to send payments. Now seven years later a collection agency is threating a garnish mentioned stating they have a judgement. Can they use the judgement from for my old landlord to garnish my wages?

Yes if they have purchased the judgment or have been authorized to collect it.

Yes, if it has been assigned to them they have up to ten years from the date of the judgment to use any legal method to enforce it, and at the end of ten years they can renew it if it has not been satisfied.
