I'm in a similar situation in Illinois where the creditor refuses to send the satisfaction/release of judgment form, as he had promised. I notice that Illinois Code of Civil Procedure does not specify any sort of ability to collect a fee or damages for the creditor not sending/filing the form (although, it seems Wisconsin does).
I'm curious to hear if you were able to collect damages for his not filing the satisfaction as promised.
Thank you for starting your own thread, stratman2009 (or thank you, moderators, for starting one for him
).
I am afraid the poster you are asking your question of has not been a member of this forum since 2003. In addition, his concerns centered on Wisconsin, not Illinois. This is why we prefer that posters start their own threads instead of tacking questions onto old threads.
Here are a few links for you to review, though, that apply to you in Illinois. The first is a link to the Illinois Statute Section 12-183, on Release of Judgments. The second is a link telling you what you can do if the creditor refuses or fails to sign the satisfaction/release of judgment (you can file a motion and have the judge sign the release). And the third is a link to the
type of form you will need to fill out - the one shown in the link is from Lake County, Illinois. You will want to get a form from your county's court.
Ill. Comp. Stat. §12-183:
