You have to get the Michigan judgment certified. Then you take the Michigan judgment and start suit in Oregon, asking the Oregon court to give full faith and credit to the Michigan judgment. You then have to serve the summons and complaint in the Oregon case on the defendants.They will have time to answer. You then motion it up for summary disposition requesting entry of judgment based upon the Michigan judgment. Once you have the Oregon judgment, you have to follow through with what is allowed in Oregon to collect, such as attachment of property and garnishment. However, if you have a Social Security number of a defendant, you can request that tax refunds be paid to you. That is available from any state.
