Keep in mind that if you do NOT pay the judgment: The amount you owe will increase daily, since the judgment accumulates interest at the rate of 10% per year. The creditor can get an order telling you to reimburse him or her for any reasonable and necessary costs of collection.
The filing fee is: $30 for claims up to $600. $50 for claims over $600 up to $1,750 and. $70 for claims over $1,750 up to $6,500.
