I live in Pennsylvania. I had a car repossessed and a default judgement was entered against me back in 2001. Is it still active? Does it ever expire?

Pennsylvania Statute of Limitations (http://www.acollectionagency.com/statuteoflimitations/pennsylvania.php)

You'll find your answers here.

If the judgement has been renewed you may still have problems even after 9 years.

Agreed. And even though a typical civil judgment in Pennsylvania has a 5 year hold, there is no limit to the amount of times that a creditor may keep renewing it.

I live in Allegheny County and I can view the court dockets online. There doesn't appear to be any activity since 2001. I would think that if it was renewed, it would show up on there right? Maybe I need to file something to have it removed?
