Question
Is there a deadline a collection agency has to file a paid judgement?
Linda,
Quick answer is most people do it in 30 days or less. After they have signed the release of judgment, then they can file it in the appropriate county. Many collection agencies just mail you the release of judgment and make you pay the recording fee.
