Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Re: Statute of Limitations

A judgment in California is valid for 10 years from the date of entry. You can renew the judgment quite easily for 10 year periods.

There are many potential methods to collect on a judgment. Ultimately, however, they all depend on the judgment debtor (person you sued) having some assets to collect from, e.g., job, bank account, real estate, cars, etc.

Additionally, if the judgment debtor has filed bankruptcy, your judgment may have been discharged in bankruptcy.

FYI: You are not really talking about a "Statute of Limitations" issue.

Re: Statute of Limitations and collection of judgments

Civil judgments are generally good for 10 years [Code of Civil Procedure 697.320], and may be renewed any time after 5 years has elapsed. Civil judgments generally accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum.

You generally may not pursue collection or renew a judgment if the judgment debtor has been discharged in bankruptcy.

I have been a collection attorney for 20 years, and have substantial experience in judgment collection and enforcement.
