Hello everyone. I have a judgement against me in the amount of $23,000.00. That was back in 2003. The judgement is now up to about $35,000.00 with interest. How long can they collect on this judgement in the state of New York, I was told after 5 years its no good.

When was the last payment (of any amount) you made?
The statute of limitations for New York is 6 years from the last time you sent them any money.

The question was not about SOL but the term of a judgement. They already got a judgement so SOL no longer applies. In NYS I believe a judgement lasts 10 years and can be renewed for at least another 10.

The Last time they got any money from me was in 2004 when they seized my bank account... Thanxs for the help

Yeah they can and will do that. I was getting confused with collections and judgment.

I'm surprised they haven't garnished your salary
