Re: collection of Ohio Common Pleas judgement

The judgement may still be enforceable, but you need to file a revivor of the judgment. A judgment is valid for five years a a time and then you need to "revive" the judgment. Back in 1985 the judgment interest rate was probably 8% per annum.

Good luck.
