The proper procedure to get relief from a judgment (appeals or other post-trial motions aside) is to file a motion to vacate judgment pursuant to Rule 60.02 of the Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure. Rule 60 provides several grounds to file a motion to vacate judgment but we will focus on Rule 60.02.

Creditors can potentially garnish wages after 7 years, depending on the type of debt and state laws. The “7-Year Rule” often causes confusion, but it doesn't universally apply to all debts. Federal debts like student loans and taxes can be collected beyond 7 years, while state laws vary on judgment enforcement periods.
