Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Missouri

I have a civil judgment against me from April of 2004 in the state of Missouri. The judgment was for an unpaid Credit Card. I have not been contacted by the law firm that won the judgment for 3 years. How long are they able to try to collect on this judgment? When was the date they had to renew the judgment by? I have no record of the judgment ever having been renewed and it is now 6 years from the date of the judgment.

If the judgment was a circuit court judgment, or if it was in the associate circuit court and then transcribed to the circuit court, the judgment is good for ten years. the judgment can also be "revived" within that ten years for an additional ten year period, and so on and so on.
