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.

There are only three ways in which a judgment can be made to go away: paying the debt, vacating the judgment or discharging the debt through bankruptcy.

Ohio's statute of limitations is six years no matter the type of debt. And the six years is counted from the date a debt became overdue or when you last made a payment, whichever was more recent. If the timeframe is more than six years, a creditor cannot sue to collect the debt.

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.

And some states also allow judgment liens on the debtor's personal property -- things like jewelry, art, antiques, and other valuables. In Ohio, a judgment lien can be attached to real estate only (such as a house, land, or similar property interest).

A judgment is good for five years, but any activity of execution on the judgment extends the 5 years.

This means that although Ohio's statute of limitations for judgment enforcement is at least fifteen years, in reality the best practice is to act at least once every five years so that your judgment does not become dormant. Often judgments are against more than one judgment debtor.
