Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Ohio

Re: Credit/Agreed Judgment entry

Often times with an agreed judgment entry where you are supposed to do something, the judge or magistrate will hold on to the entry until you have completed whatever it is you agreed to do. Once the judge or magistrate has confirmation from the other party that you have completed your part, the entry is filed.

A foreign certificate of judgment is usually a judgment from a different court than the one you are in. For instance, these are used when you get a judgment against someone in one county but want to seize assets the person has is another county. You file the judgment entry from the first county with the second county so you can get an order to seize the assets.

If something was filed in a court case you are a party to, you should have received a copy of it. If not, I would visit the Clerk's office and get a copy of whatever was filed. It is possible that something was filed in another case and accidentally placed in your case file or mistyped online.
