Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Michigan

I reciently got a new job as a accounts manager at a furniture store in Michigan. Ive worked my own accounts before where Ive had to go to small claims court and get a judgement and possibly a wage garnishment or seizure of property if it goes that far. I stumbled on some old files here where a Judgement was granted in our favor and hasnt been collected yet. Some of these files are between 5-8 years old. Is there anything I can do to get these old judgements paid or has it gone too long? Do I have any options?

A Michigan judgment can be enforced for ten years. If it is not renewed before the expiration of ten years, it becomes unenforceable. If it is renewed every ten years, it can be renewed indefinitely.
