expired judgement

You can call the court house and they can tell you if it's been renewed. And you are correct. Judgements in Kansas expire after 5 years.

thank u sassy. I did call courthouse and the clerk says all she has is this latest entry which is what i mentioned above. I have called 4 atty's and none have returned my calls. I don't know if to file this form for debtors request for hearing and the one on the exemptions or not. The clerk said she saw nothing of its renewal so I don't know if to file answer that it is expired or what i should do in this. any help would be appreciated. The clerk says the entry of case terminated was just their own record for something (i guess for microfische, scanning, and paper records destroyed.) so again I don't know how to proceed next.

Now the question becomes, how long do they have to renew it? And that I'm not sure.

I would file an answer stating the judgement has expired.

ok. this notice to debtor of exemptions, and debtor's request for hearing and certificate of service is not something that would automatically just renew a judgement is it?

I don't know.

I'm hoping someone else can come along and help answer your questions.

Hang tight.

ok i am trying to. actually looking at it, if that form doesn't renew it, it expired 1 year ago 2008. i await helpful replys thanx all

ok i am back from courthouse. got copies, asked questions. There has not been a renewal of judgement, which then should have expired May 2008. If the atty doesn't call back i need to file something monday. do i just file this debtor request for hearing on the non-wage garnishment paper? or do i also file something to vacate the judgement based on sol expired, or what do i file - the court clerk wasn't real helpful in that respect. thanx all!

hmm not sure what i did wrong but it posted my last one as guest. but its still me/myself/and I awaiting anxiously for some help on this judgement thing.

bumping for response

ok all i have found out that it is renewed :( that exececution on the non-wage garnishment does it. even tho a judgement goes dormant at 5 years, they have 2 years to revive it which is easy for them to do by just filing the execution paper. so now i don't know what to do. I can't pay it off no way. I have about enough saved up to file a bankruptcy but do i want to do that. I guess i could try to settle for that amount if they would (probably not) and if they won't then just go across the hall to the bk attorney and hand them the money to file a bk then the judgement won't get anything right?
