Hi Quincy, I read this,
"But there may be a way around a seemingly expired judgment. It’s possible to bring a cause of action based on a judgment that’s expiration is measured from when the judgment became “final” instead of from the date of entry. See CCP §337.5. A judgment becomes final when the time to appeal expires or when an appeal becomes final (both well after the date the judgment was entered), and the period may be tolled, e.g., by the debtor’s absence from the state or by the debtor being in bankruptcy and subject to a bankruptcy stay.
For example, a judgment has expired (i.e., it’s been more than 10 years since the date of entry of the judgment), and the creditor has discovered assets of the debtor. The judgment can’t be renewed because of its age, but the creditor may be able to bring a new action based on the judgment with the 10-year statute of limitations measured from when the judgment became final. See Comment to CCP §683.020."
So when does a California judgement become "Final"?
I am out of State at the moment!
I checked LA superior court record,
2nd Nov 2007, Amended Judgement filed.
21 Nov 2007. Ex parte application (to amend Judgement),
21 Nov 2007, Judgement (Amended Judgement) and then
22 Jan 2008, Abstract of judgement ( Against me)
So did the judgement expire in Nov 2017 or Jan 2018 or is there time for appeal?
What is the time of appeal in the above para?
Worried!
Thanks
