FAQ
Regardless of whether any payments are made, your judgment does not last forever. In Ohio, judgments go “dormant” in 5 years after the latter of: (a) when the judgment was issued, or (b) the last time it was used to create a lien, generate a seizure, obtain a garnishment order, or any other similar effort.
To collect your judgment through a bank account attachment, complete the following three steps: Find out the name of the Judgment Debtor's bank, the bank's address, and the Judgment Debtor's account number. Obtain and complete the OTW Garnishment Packet. File the "OTW" Garnishment Packet with the Clerk of Court.
Your judgment lasts a long time (goes dormant after 5 years of no collections attempts), so time is on your side. Before you collect from the debtor, you need to know whether they have a job, have bank accounts, own real estate, or own property that is attachable.
68. An offer of judgment by any party, if refused by an opposite party, may not be filed with the court by the offering party for purposes of a proceeding to determine costs. This rule shall not be construed as limiting voluntary offers of settlement made by any party.
