Introduction
If you win at trial and the judgment says the other person owes you money or property, you are the "judgment creditor." The person
who lost is called the "judgment debtor."
Enforcing Your Judgment
You have to take legal steps to collect the judgment. The court will not collect it for you. You may not take action for 30 days from the
date that the clerk mailed the Notice of Entry of Judgment (SC-130) to the parties.
During the 30 day period, the judgment debtor may do one of the following:
Pay in full or request to make payments to you or the court form SC-145 (see below "What to do After the Judgment is Paid").
Appeal the decision if they appeared at the trial.
File a Motion to Vacate the Judgment if they did not appear at the trial.
Complete and mail to you a Judgment Debtor’s Statement of Assets (SC-133) .
If the judgment debtor takes no action, below are the legal steps that you may take to collect your judgment in the order in which you
may want to proceed:
Get in touch with the judgment debtor.
Levy (seize) assets that you have personal knowledge of or listed on the Judgment Debtor’s Statement of Assets form.
Examine judgment debtor in court to locate unknown assets.
Suspend the judgment debtor’s driver’s license the judgment is for auto accident.
Suspend the judgment debtor’s professional license (example: Contractor’s License).
Place a lien on land, buildings, or residence.

Contacting the Judgment Debtor
Start by getting in touch with the judgment debtor. Give them an address where they can mail the payment. You can offer to accept less
than the whole judgment if they pay right away. Or, you can agree to take regular payments.
Write to the judgment debtor instead of calling. That way, you cannot argue. The person who owes you money can pay you or the court
all at once, or ask to make payments. Both parties can also "stipulate" (agree) to a payment plan. Fill out the form Stipulation for Time
Payments (L-1094) and file it with the court after it has been signed by both parties.
If you cannot agree on a payment plan, the judgment debtor can file a form called Request to Make Payments (SC-220) . The court will
mail you a copy. You can file a Response to Request to Make Payments (SC-221) that lets the court know what kind of payment plan
you want. Read the Payments In Small Claims (SC-220-INFO) for more information.
Correcting the Judgment Debtor’s Name
Depending on the correction that is needed, there are two ways to correct the judgment debtor’s name after the judgment has been
entered:
Request for court order to correct the name of the judgment debtor.
Request to correct the judgment due to clerical error made by the court.
REQUEST FOR COURT ORDER TO CORRECT NAME OF JUDGMENT DEBTOR:
Your small claims judgment must use the correct name of the person or business that owes you money. Otherwise, you may not be
able to collect your judgment. The law provides that you may request the court to amend the judgment to include both the correct legal
name and the name(s) actually used by the judgment debtor. If the judgment debtor’s correct name is different from what is written on
the judgment, you can ask the court to change the judgment to the correct name.
You may need to do this if:
The name on the judgment is not spelled correctly.
The name on the judgment is a maiden name, and the debtor has a new married name (or the judgment has a married name
when the debtor has gone back to using a maiden name).
There has been a legal change of name (other than through marriage).
The debtor routinely uses a different name (an alias or pen name) and has assets in that name.
Your judgment lists the business name, but not the debtor’s personal name, and the business is owned by the debtor as a sole
proprietor. You will not be able to have the judgment changed to name an officer or employee of the business.
Do this:
Fill out the Request for Court Order and Answer (SC-105) . Explain why you want to change the name on the judgment and
that you have a good reason for the proposed change. If you have documents that support your request, say that "exhibits are
attached" and attach those papers to your form.
File the Request (and any attachments) with the clerk. There is no time limit in which this has to be done.
REQUEST TO CORRECT JUDGMENT DUE TO CLERICAL ERROR:
You can also request that the name on your judgment be corrected due to a clerical error made by the court.
Do this:
Fill out a Request to Correct or Cancel Judgment and Answer (SC-108) . Indicate that you are asking for an order to correct
(NOT vacate) the judgment. Explain why you want to change the name on the judgment. If you have documents that support
your request, say that "exhibits are attached" and attach those papers to your form.
File the Request (and any attachments) with the clerk within 30 days after the clerk mails the Notice of Entry of Judgment.
3
http://www.occourts.org/self-help/smallclaims/collectingthejudgment.html
RULING ON YOUR REQUEST:
After you file your Request, the clerk will mail a copy of it to the other side. The judgment debtor will then have 10 days to file and serve
you with an opposition. If the judgment debtor files an opposition, it will say why the judge should deny your request. They can serve
their opposition on you by mail.
If the judgment debtor files an opposition, the court may schedule a hearing so that the parties can testify. If a hearing is scheduled, the
court will send both parties a notice of the hearing. If after 10 days (after you have been served with the judgment debtor’s opposition)
you still do not have a notice of hearing or ruling from the court, contact the clerk and ask what is happening with your case, giving the
clerk your case name and number. You can also look up your case online. If the judgment debtor does not file an opposition within 10
days, the judge may grant your request.
Requiring Production of the Statement of Assets
When the judgment debtor gets the Notice of Entry of Judgment (SC-130) they will also get a form called the Judgment Debtor’s
Statement of Assets (SC-133) .They will have to pay the judgment or fill out the Statement of Assets and mail it to you. You can then
use this information to levy (seize) the judgment debtor’s assets as described below.
If the judgment debtor does not return a completed Statement of Assets form to you within 30 days after the Notice of Entry of
Judgment was mailed to the parties, you can get the court to order them to go back to Small Claims court. File a form called Order to
Produce Statement of Assets and to Appear for Examination (SC-134) .You will have to pay a filing fee. The clerk will give you a
hearing date. Note: if you already know what assets the judgment debtor has, you can skip this step and go directly to levying (seizing)
assets as described below.
The Order will not be valid unless it is personally served on the judgment debtor. It must be served by the:
Sheriff, or
Licensed process server (check the internet or Yellow Pages).
Provide the Sheriff or process server with:
A copy of the Order.
Written instructions of the name and address of the person to serve, best time of day to attempt service, and description of the
person.
Pay a fee for service (refer to Sheriff website); process server fees will vary.
The judgment debtor must also live within 150 miles from the court. If they live more than 150 miles away you must conduct the hearing
at the court in the county where the judgment debtor resides. For more information on this process, contact the Small Claims Advisor,
Small Claims Clerk, or staff at the court’s Self-Help Center.
The judgment debtor has to pay you or go to the hearing. If they have not paid before the hearing then you have to go to the hearing.
The judge will make the person who lost fill out the Statement of Assets and answer your questions about the property they have, how
much money they make, and how much money they have in the bank. For sample questions that you may ask, go to the California
Courts website.
If the judgment debtor does not appear for the hearing a bench warrant may be issued for their arrest. See below "How To Request a
Bench Warrant."

http://www.occourts.org/self-help/smallclaims/collectingthejudgment.html
Hearing to Disclose Assets
Even if the judgment debtor gives you a Judgment Debtor’s Statement of Assets (SC-133) within 30 days you can still get the court to
order them to go back to court to answer questions about the property they own and how much money they make. This is only
necessary if you need more information about the judgment debtor’s assets in order to levy (seize) them as described below.
File a form called Application and Order for Appearance and Examination (EJ-125) . You will have to pay a filing fee. The clerk will give
you a hearing date.
The Order will not be valid unless it is personally served on the judgment debtor. It must be served by the:
Sheriff, or
Licensed process server (check the Yellow Pages).
Provide the Sheriff or process server with:
A copy of the Order.
Written instructions of the name and address of the person to serve, best time of day to attempt service, and description of the
person.
Pay a fee for service (refer to Sheriff website); process server fees will vary.
The judgment debtor must also live within 150 miles from the court. If they live more than 150 miles away you must conduct the hearing
at the court in the county where the judgment debtor resides. For more information on this process, contact the Small Claims Advisor,
Small Claims clerk, or staff at the court’s Self-Help Center.
The judgment debtor has to pay you or go to the hearing. If they have not paid before the hearing then you have to go to the hearing.
The judge will make the person who lost answer your questions about the property they have, how much money they make, and how
much money they have in the bank. For sample questions that you may ask, go to the California Courts website.
If the judgment debtor does not appear for the hearing a bench warrant may be issued for their arrest. See the next section "How To
Request a Bench Warrant".
How to Request a Bench Warrant
If the judgment debtor has been served with either: 1) an Order to Produce Statement of Assets and to Appear for Examination (see
above "Requiring Production of the Statement of Assets"), or 2) an Application and Order for Appearance and Examination (see above
"Hearing to Disclose Assets"). Their appearance at the hearing is mandatory. If the judgment debtor does not appear, the Judge may
order a bench warrant for their arrest.
It is your responsibility to have the bench warrant "issued" to the Sheriff for enforcement. To do this:
Read the Civil Bench Warrant Instructions (L-1166) .
Fill out the Sheriff Instructions Sheet on the Civil Bench Warrant Instruction (L-1166) .
Fill out the Bench Warrant (L-0525) .
Include a check payable to the Sheriff for their fee for service of a "CCP 708.170 warrant".
Submit the check, Sheriff Instructions, and Bench warrant to the clerk at the Justice Center where your case is filed.
Memorandum of Costs, Credit, and Interest
If you have to use legal proceedings to collect your money, you will have to pay court fees, service fees, and Sheriff fees (costs). You
can add most of these extra costs to your original judgment as long as you do so within 2 years from when they were incurred. You can
also claim interest at 10% annually from the date of the judge’s decision. Lastly, you can acknowledge any payments that the judgment
debtor has made on the judgment.
5
http://www.occourts.org/self-help/smallclaims/collectingthejudgment.html
First fill out the first page of a Memorandum of Costs After Judgment, Acknowledgment of Credit, and Declaration of Accrued Interest
(MC-012) . For more information on how to compute interest, check the California Courts website.
Next, have someone mail or hand deliver a copy of the Memorandum to the judgment debtor. Then have the person complete the proof
of service document on the back of the form. You must then file the form with the court. The judgment debtor who lost will have 10 days
to file a motion to dispute some or all of the costs. If no motion is filed, the clerk will add the costs to the judgment. If they file a motion,
you will get a notice of hearing about the motion. The court will decide if you should get paid for the costs you claimed.
Levying (Seize) Assets Using a Writ of Execution
If the judgment debtor has not paid you and more than 30 days have elapsed since the clerk mailed the Notice of Entry of
Judgment and no "Motion to Vacate Judgment" or "Notice of Appeal" has been filed, you may levy (seize) the assets of the judgment
debtor. The two most common and inexpensive assets to levy on are wages and bank accounts. You must be able to tell the Sheriff the
location of the employer and bank account. This information may be contained on the Judgment Debtor’s Statement of Assets (SC-
133) if the judgment debtor completed the form and mailed it to you within 30 days after judgment was entered. Or you may be able to
find out on your own. Otherwise, you may first need to have a hearing to question the judgment debtor about the location of their assets
(See above "Requiring Production of the Statement of Assets or Hearing To Disclose Assets").
A Writ of Execution (EJ-130) is a form you fill out and have issued by the clerk. It describes the details of the judgment. There is a fee
to have the writ issued. You need to get a writ before you can use any of the 5 collection methods listed below. Before reading further,
check the California Courts website on levying on assets of the judgment debtor.
The Writ of Execution will be issued for the amount of the judgment. However, the judgment debtor may owe less if they have made a
payment or they may owe more due to the 1) accrual of interest or 2) court costs that you have spent after judgment has been entered
in trying to collect your judgment. (see above "Memorandum of Costs, Credit and Interest")
NOTE: You do not have to file this form for the costs you will be spending for the court fees and Sheriff’s fees for the current Writ of
Execution you are requesting. Those costs will be automatically added. However, if you are claiming costs for a previous Writ or other
costs spent to collect your judgment, you must wait 10 days after a copy of the Memorandum of Costs is mailed or given to the
judgment debtor before those costs can be added to the current Writ of Execution you are requesting.
For more information on claiming a payment, interest, or costs see above "Memorandum of Costs, Credit, and Interest."
NOTE REGARDING SHERIFF DEPARTMENTS AND THEIR FEES:
All of the collection methods listed below may involve requesting the help of a Sheriff in the county where the asset or property is
located. The Sheriff Instructions and Sheriff fees may vary from one county to another. If the Sheriff is successful in collecting your
money, they will also collect their fee so that you are reimbursed. View more information about the Orange County Sheriff’s fees,
locations, instruction forms and requirements.
SEIZE EARNINGS:
You can tell the Sheriff to take wages if you know where the judgment debtor works. An Earnings Withholding Order tells the judgment
debtor’s employer to give the Sheriff a portion of what they earn until the judgment is paid. The standard portion withheld is 25% of the
net (after-tax) pay. The sheriff will give you the money.
You must:
Complete a Writ of Execution (EJ-130) . Have it issued by the clerk and pay the issuance fee by submitting it to the court
location where your case was filed or you may also submit the document by eFile.
Complete an Application for Earnings Withholding Order (WG-001) .
Complete a Sheriff Instruction form.
Give these documents to the Sheriff along with their fee.
6
http://www.occourts.org/self-help/smallclaims/collectingthejudgment.html
You will need to know the name and address of the employer of the judgment debtor so that the Sheriff can serve them with the forms.
The employer must then respond to the Sheriff within 15 days confirming that the judgment debtor works there and how frequently they
are paid.
The judgment debtor may challenge the seizure of their wages. For more information, see section "Making Payment/Failure to Make
Payment-Defendant."
SEIZE PERSONAL PROPERTY:
You can tell the Sheriff to take money from the bank account and give it to you. Or, you can get the Sheriff to take personal property,
such as a vehicle, sell it, and give you the money. You must know the location of the property. The Sheriff’s fees vary greatly depending
on the property, ranging from approximately $35.00 to levy (seize) a bank account to $1,800.00 to seize and sell a vehicle. These costs
will be added to the amount that the Sheriff collects, but there is no guarantee of collection. There may not be any money in the bank
account, or the judgment debtor may owe more on the car than it is worth.
You must:
Complete a Writ of Execution (EJ -130) . Have it issued by the clerk and pay the issuance fee by submitting it to the court
location where your case was filed or you may also submit the document by eFile.
Fill out Sheriff Instructions that describe the property and say where it is, and the name and address of the person or business
that should get the Notice of Levy (example: name and address of bank).
Give the Writ and Sheriff Instructions to the Sheriff, along with their fee.
The judgment debtor may challenge the seizure of their bank account or personal property. For more information, see the section
"Making Payment/Failure To Make Payment - Defendant."
SEIZE MONEY OF A BUSINESS (TILL TAP):
If the judgment debtor is a business with a cash register, you can get the Sheriff to go to the business and take enough money out of
the register to pay the judgment and the Sheriff’s fee. This is a common collection method and not as expensive as putting a Sheriff’s
"keeper" in a business (see below).
You must:
Complete a Writ of Execution (EJ-130) . Have it issued by the clerk and pay the issuance fee by submitting it to the court
location where your case was filed or you may also submit the document by eFile.
Fill out Sheriff Instructions, including the name and address of the business and the best time of day to do the "till tap."
Give the Writ, Notice of Levy, and Sheriff Instructions to the Sheriff along with their fee. (If there is not enough money in the
register to pay the judgment, you will have to pay another fee every time the sheriff goes back.)
The judgment debtor may challenge the seizure of their personal property. For more information, see section "Making Payment/Failure
to Make Payment-Defendant."
SEIZE THE MONEY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY IN THE DEBTOR’S BUSINESS ("KEEPER"):
If the judgment debtor is a business, you can get the sheriff to put someone (called a "keeper") in the business for a certain amount of
time. They will collect money throughout the day until the time you have paid for is up or the judgment is paid. It is also possible to have
the Sheriff sell the inventory of the business. The Sheriff’s fees for a keeper can be expensive. The fees will be added to the amount
that the Sheriff collects, but there is no guarantee of collection.
You must:
Complete a Writ of Execution (EJ-130) . Have it issued by the clerk and pay the issuance fee by submitting it to the court
location where your case was filed or you may also submit the document by eFile.
Fill out Sheriff Instructions, including the name and address of the business and the date and hours you want the "keeper" to
stay in the business.
Give the Writ and Sheriff’s Instructions to the Sheriff along with their fee.
The judgment debtor may challenge the seizure of their personal property. For more information, see section "Making Payment/Failure
to Make Payment-Defendant."

http://www.occourts.org/self-help/smallclaims/collectingthejudgment.html
SELL LAND, BUILDINGS, OR RESIDENCE:
You may be able to seize and sell the judgment debtor’s land, buildings, or residence. The process is complicated and costly. It is
recommended that you consult an attorney who specializes in the collection of civil judgments.
Recording a Lien on Land or Buildings
An Abstract of Judgment (EJ-001) puts a lien on any land, house or other building that the judgment debtor owns. If the person who lost
sells the property with title insurance, you will be paid using the money from the sale. You have to pay to get an Abstract of Judgment
from the court. You also have to pay to record it in every county where the person might own land. You do not have to provide the
address of the property to lien, nor do you even need to know for certain that the judgment debtor owns property. The Abstract of
Judgment will place a lien on any property that is in the name of the judgment debtor. A simple rule of thumb is to record a lien in the
county where the judgment debtor resides or does business.
You must:
Wait 30 days from the date of mailing of the Notice of Entry of Judgment.
Complete an Abstract of Judgment (EJ-001) . Have it issued by the clerk and pay the issuance fee by submitting it to the
court location where your case was filed or you may also submit the document by eFile.
Give the original issued Abstract to the County Recorder and pay their recording fee.
o For more information, check the Orange County Recorder website.
o If recording the Abstract of Judgment in a county other than Orange County, please check the appropriate County
Recorder website for fees and procedures.
After the Abstract has been recorded, the County Recorder will return the document to you. Retain this document. You will need the
recording information on it later in order to complete an acknowledgment of Satisfaction of Judgment after you have been paid in full.
See below "What To Do After The Judgment is Paid" for more information.
Suspending a Driver’s License
If your judgment is from a car accident on a California highway, and the judgment debtor caused the accident by driving, you can ask
the have their driver’s license suspended. If you are not sure if you can do this, look at item 10 on your Notice of Entry of Judgment.
If the judgment is over $750:
Wait 30 days from the date of mailing the Notice of Entry of Judgment.
Fill out a Certificate of Facts Re Unsatisfied Judgment (DL 30) if the judgment is over $750.
File it with the clerk where your trial was held and pay the following fees: $15.00 to issue the Certificate or Notice, plus $25.50
to copy and certify the judgment which must be attached to the Certificate or Notice.
The clerk will return the Certificate or Notice to you to file with the California Department of Motor Vehicles. For more
information on DMV’s address, fees, and procedures, click on the applicable form above.
The driver’s license will be suspended for 6 years.
If the judgment is $750 or under:
Wait 90 days from the date of mailing of the Notice of Entry of Judgment.
Fill out a Notice of Unsatisfied Judgment (DL-17) if the judgment is $750 or under.
File it with the clerk where your trial was held and pay the following fees: $15.00 to issue the Certificate or Notice, plus $25.50
to copy and certify the judgment which must be attached to the Certificate or Notice.
The clerk will return the Certificate or Notice to you to file with the California Department of Motor Vehicles. For more
information on DMV’s address, fees, and procedures, click on the applicable form above. The driver’s license will be
suspended 90 days.

Suspending A Professional License
If your judgment is against a person or business that must be licensed with the State of California Department of Consumer Affairs,
such as a contractor or real estate agent, you may be able to suspend their professional license if your judgment is for damages
resulting professional services.
For more information check the:
California State Contractors License Board
California Department of Real Estate
California Department of Consumer Affairs
Do Not Use Illegal Ways to Collect Your Money
The person who owes you money is protected from abusive or unfair ways to collect the debt. Collection agencies and people who
collect their own debts cannot:
Lie or make misleading statements to collect a debt,
Harass the person who owes them money,
Ask for more than basic information about where the debtor is from another person,
Tell the debtor’s employer or other people that the debtor owes them money (except when you get an earnings withholding
order), or
Get in touch with the debtor before 8:00am or after 9:00pm or at any time or place that is not convenient.
For more information on this subject, check the California Courts website.
How Long a Judgment Is Valid
You have 10 years to enforce your judgment. But, if you cannot collect the whole judgment in that time, you can get 10 more years to
collect the debt.
File a form called Application For and Renewal of Judgment (EJ -190) and Notice of Renewal of Judgment (EJ-195) . You will have to
pay a fee. If you cannot afford the fee, you can apply to the court to have the fees waived. You have to file before the first 10 years are
up. The clerk will keep the original Application, but give you back the original Notice which has been "issued" by the clerk.
You cannot enforce the renewed judgment until you have the judgment debtor served with a copy of both the Application and Notice.
You cannot serve your claim. Service must be performed by:
Someone of your choosing not listed on the case who is at least 18 years old, or
Sheriff, or
Licensed process server (check the internet or Yellow Pages).
Further:
If you are serving a person (or people) —not a business or public entity— serve each person named in the judgment.
If you are serving a business or public entity, read How to Serve a Business or Public Entity (SC-104C) .
Service may be performed by serving the documents:
o By mail. The server should complete the Proof of Service by First Class Mail (POS-030) .
o In person. The server should complete the Proof of Personal Service (POS-020) .
File the Proof of Service form(s) along with the original issued Notice of Renewal of Judgment with the clerk.
They have 30 days from the day they are served to file a motion to request that the Application be vacated or modified. At the expiration
of this time you may enforce your judgment.
For more information on this subject, check the California Courts website.

http://www.occourts.org/self-help/smallclaims/collectingthejudgment.html
What to Do After a Judgment Is Paid
After you have been paid in full, you must file an "Acknowledgment of Satisfaction of Judgment." If you did not 1) record an Abstract of
Judgment to place a lien on land and buildings or 2) file a Certificate of Facts Re: Unsatisfied Judgment to suspend the judgment
debtor’s driver’s license, just fill out and file the form on the back of your Notice of Entry of Judgment (SC-130) .
If you did record an Abstract of Judgment, you have to file the form called Acknowledgment of Satisfaction of Judgment (EJ-100) . You
will have to name every county where you recorded the Abstract and sign the form in front of a notary public. You must have the
Acknowledgment recorded in each county where the Abstract of Judgment was recorded. The recorder will charge a fee. For further
information check the Orange County Recorder’s website. For all other County Recorders, check their website.
If you filed a Certificate of Facts Re: Unsatisfied Judgment or Notice of Unsatisfied Judgment with the Department of Motor Vehicles
you will need to sign the form mailed to you by DMV after you filed the Certificate with their Sacramento office. You must then give this
form to the judgment debtor so that they may apply to have their driver’s license reinstated.
You must also file the Acknowledgment of Satisfaction of Judgment with the court as described above. If you do not file the
Acknowledgment, and the judgment debtor tells the court, you may be fined at least $50 plus any damages caused to the debtor.
For more information on this subject, check the California Courts website.
What to Do If a Judgment Debtor Files Bankruptcy
Each of the 94 federal judicial districts in the United States handles bankruptcy matters, and in almost all districts, bankruptcy cases are
filed in the Bankruptcy Court. Unlike your Small Claims case, bankruptcy cases are heard in the Federal court. Bankruptcy laws help
people who can no longer pay their creditors get a fresh start by liquidating their assets to pay their debts, or by creating a repayment
plan.
Bankruptcy laws also protect troubled businesses and provide for orderly distributions to business creditors through reorganization or
liquidation. These procedures are covered under Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code). The vast majority of cases
are filed under the three main chapters of the Bankruptcy Code, which are Chapter 7, Chapter 11, and Chapter 13.
If you have been named as a creditor in a bankruptcy case, both the California Courts website and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court website
contain basic information. In most circumstances the filing of bankruptcy prohibits creditors from taking any action to collect a debt,
including a small claims judgment. You should consult an attorney, Small Claims Advisor, or the court’s Self-Help staff for advice.
How to Get More Information
If the person who lost will not pay, it can be complicated, expensive and take a lot of time to collect your money. You might want to talk
to a lawyer or read a legal guide about how to enforce judgments before you try anything else. If you do not, you could waste time and
money or do something illegal. For more information to help you understand the collections process go to the:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANT
To set a hearing on an Application and Order to Produce Statement of Assets and to Appear for Examination, you must complete
this form, present it to the court clerk, and pay the fee for an initial hearing date or a reset hearing date.
After you file this form, the clerk will set a hearing date, note the hearing date on the form, and return two copies or an original and
one copy of the form to you.
You must attend the hearing unless the judgment has been paid.
Page 2 of 2
SC-134 [Rev. January 1, 2017]
This form is intended to be an easy tool to enforce your right to receive a completed Judgment Debtor's Statement of Assets (form
SC-133). This form is not intended to replace the Application and Order for Appearance and Examination (form EJ-125), often
called an "Order for Examination." The Application and Order for Appearance and Examination should still be used to enforce a
small claims judgment if you are not seeking at the same time to make the debtor complete a Judgment Debtor's Statement of
Assets.
If the judgment is paid, including all postjudgment costs and interest, you must immediately complete the Acknowledgment of
Satisfaction of Judgment on the reverse of the Notice of Entry of Judgment (form SC-130) and file a copy with the court.
If you want to be able to ask the court to enforce the order on the judgment debtor (the person or business who lost the case), you
must have a copy of this form and a blank copy of the Judgment Debtor's Statement of Assets (form SC-133) personally served on
the judgment debtor by a sheriff, marshal, or registered process server at least 10 calendar days before the date of the hearing, and
have a proof of service filed with the court. The law provides for a new fee if you reset the hearing.

INFORMATION SHEET FOR CALCULATING INTEREST
AND AMOUNT OWED ON A JUDGMENT
Under California law, the amount recoverable by a judgment creditor includes:
Costs After Judgment
A judgment creditor is entitled to reimbursement for the “reasonable and necessary” costs of enforcing a judgment. These
costs must be reported to the court within two years of the date incurred. The judgment amount includes costs ordered by
the court after the judgment. (For information on recovering costs and a detailed list of costs that can be recovered see
Code of Civil Procedure sections 685.040, 685.050 et seq., 685.070(b), and 685.090; see also “Requesting Costs and
Interest” below).

The total amount of the judgment entered by the court (principal), plus costs;
What can the judgment creditor recover?
Accrued Interest (See Code Civ. Proc., §§ 685.010, 685.020(a), and Cal. Const., art. XV, § 1.)
Interest accrues on an unpaid judgment amount at the legal rate of 10% per year (7% if the judgment debtor is a state or
local government entity) generally from the date of entry of the judgment. Interest begins to accrue on the amount of costs
added to a judgment from the date ordered by the court or from the date costs are allowed following expiration of the time
to object. (Code Civ. Proc., § 685.070(d).) Also, upon renewal of a judgment, interest begins to accrue on the day the
renewed judgment is entered. If the judgment is payable in installments, interest accrues from the date each installment is
due.
Any payments received by the judgment creditor must be “credited” in a specific order. (Code Civ. Proc., § 695.220.)
After specific costs go directly to the levying officer and to the court for fees, the judgment creditor is required to credit
payments received first toward accrued interest and then toward the judgment principal (including costs approved by the
court after entry of the judgment).
Calculation of Interest on Judgment and Amount Due
Following are various formulas and examples to assist with the calculation of interest on a judgment using a 10% interest
rate:
Calculating Daily Interest on a Judgment Using 10% Interest Rate
Following is the formula for figuring out the amount of interest earned per day on a judgment.
Formula: Total amount of judgment owed x 10% (or 0.10) = interest earned per year.
Divide that number by 365 = daily interest earned.
Example: Judgment debtor owes the judgment creditor $5,000 (the “judgment principal”).
$5,000 x 0.10 = $500
$500/365 = $1.37 daily interest
The amount of interest earned will be $1.37 per day as long as the unpaid amount remains $5,000.
Calculating the Total Amount Due, Including Interest, on the date of payment
Step 1: Calculate the amount of interest owed on the date of payment. This amount will equal the daily interest rate
calculated above, multiplied by the number of days since the court entered the final judgment.
Figure out the total number of days that have passed since the court entered the final judgment up to the day of
payment.
Multiply the total days by the amount of daily interest. The result is the amount of interest owing on the day of
payment.
Costs after judgment under Code of Civil Procedure section 685.070; and
Requesting Costs and Interest
To have costs and interest added to the enforceable amount owed, the judgment creditor must file and serve a
Memorandum of Costs After Judgment (form MC-012). On this form, the judgment creditor must include the exact
amount of all costs and accrued interest. This means the judgment creditor is responsible for calculating the amount of
interest that accrues on the judgment. It is useful to update this calculation after receiving payments.

INFORMATION SHEET FOR CALCULATING INTEREST
AND AMOUNT OWED ON A JUDGMENT
The judgment debtor owes $137 in interest on the principal of $5,000 on the date of payment.
Step 2: Add the amount of interest that has accrued to the amount of the judgment.
$5,000 judgment amount + $137 interest = $5,137.
The judgment debtor owes a total of $5,137 on the 100th day after the court entered the judgment.
Crediting Partial Payments and Recalculating the Amount Due
If the judgment debtor does not pay all that is owed at one time, the partial payments the debtor makes are credited
to the interest first and then to the judgment amount (the principal) owed.
Example: Judgment principal of $5,000.
Step 1: Calculate the amount of interest owed on the date of payment
Following the above example: $1.37 per day x 200 days. After 200 days, $274 in interest will have accrued
on the $5,000 judgment (200 days x $1.37 per day).
Step 2: Apply payment to interest
The debtor paid $1,000, which must first be used to credit the $274 of accrued interest.
That leaves a balance of $726 to be credited toward the $5,000 principal ($1,000 - $274 = $726).
Step 3: Apply remainder to principal
The remaining credit of $726 is applied to the $5,000 judgment principal ($5,000 - $726 = $4,274).
The judgment debtor now owes $4,274 on the judgment principal.
Step 4: Calculate the new daily interest rate
Daily interest would then accrue at a rate of $1.17/day.
$4,274 x 10% = $427.40 interest earned per year.
$427.40/365 = $1.17 interest earned per day.
The amount of interest that accrues in the next 100 days:
100 days x $1.17 = $117.
The new daily interest would then accrue on the principal going forward at a rate of $1.07/day:
$3,891 x 10% = $389.10/365.
Example: Assume a $5,000 judgment was entered on June 1 and paid on September 8; 100 days from the entry of
the judgment have passed.
The daily interest is $1.37 (see above calculation).
$1.37 per day x 100 days = $137 interest owed on the date of payment.
First Payment: After 200 days, the judgment debtor pays $1,000
Second Payment: After 100 days, a payment of $500 is made (calculate using steps 1–4)
1.
2.
3.
The credit of $383 is then subtracted from the judgment principal of $4,274, leaving an unpaid balance of
$3,891.
The payment of $500 must first be credited towards the interest of $117, leaving a balance of $383 to be
credited against the principal ($500 - $117 = $383).

-NOTICE- -NOTICIA-
NOTICIA LEGAL IMPORTANTE RESPECTO
A LAS ÓRDENES DE RETENCIÓN DE SUELDO
IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE TO EMPLOYEE
ABOUT EARNINGS WITHHOLDING ORDERS
(Wage Garnishment)
La Orden de Retención de Sueldo requiere que su
empleador pague una parte de su sueldo a un oficial
de embargo. El oficial le pagará el dinero retenido a
su acreedor que ha conseguido una decisión judicial
en contra de usted. Pida usted que un amigo o su
abogado le lea este papel oficial. Esta información le
puede ayudar a proteger su sueldo.
CAN YOU BE FIRED BECAUSE OF THIS?
NO. You cannot be fired unless your earnings have been withheld before for a different court judgment. If this is the first
judgment for which your wages will be withheld and your employer fires you because of this, the California Labor
Commissioner, listed in the phone book of larger cities, can help you get your job back.
HOW MUCH OF YOUR PAY WILL BE WITHHELD?
The reverse of the Earnings Withholding Order (abbreviated in this notice as EWO) that applies to you contains Employer
Instructions. These explain how much of your earnings can be withheld. Generally, the amount is about 25% of your take
home pay until the amount due has been withheld. The levying officer will notify the employee of an additional
assessment charged for paying out money collected under this order and that amount will also be withheld.
If you have trouble figuring this out, ask your employer for help.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO?
YES. There are several possibilities.
1. See an attorney. If you do not know an attorney, check with the lawyer referral service or the legal aid office in your
county (both are listed in the yellow pages under ''Attorneys'').
An attorney may be able to help you make an agreement with your creditor, or may be able to help you stop your
earnings from being withheld. You may wish to consider bankruptcy or asking the bankruptcy court to help you pay
your creditors. These possibilities may stop your wages from being withheld.
An attorney can help you decide what is best for you. Take your EWO to the attorney to help you get the best advice
and the fastest help.
2. Try to work out an agreement yourself with your creditor. Call the creditor or the creditor's attorney, listed on the
EWO. If you make an agreement, the withholding of your wages will stop or be changed to a smaller amount you
agree on. (See item 4 on the reverse for another way to make an offer to your creditor.)
3. You can ask for an EXEMPTION. An exemption will protect more, or maybe even all of your earnings. You can get an
exemption if you need your earnings to support yourself or your family, but you cannot get an exemption if:
a. You use some of your earnings for luxuries and they aren't really necessary for support; OR
b. You owe money OR
c. You owe the debt for past due child support of spousal support (alimony); OR
d. You owe the debt to a former employee for wages.
HOW DO YOU ASK FOR AN EXEMPTION?
(See the other side of this form for instructions about claiming an exemption.)
EMPLOYEE INSTRUCTIONS
(Wage Garnishment)
Form Adopted for Mandatory Use
Judicial Council of California
WG-003 [Rev. January 2, 2012]
Code of Civil Procedure, § 706.122
www.courts.ca.gov
The Earnings Withholding Order requires your
employer to pay part of your earnings to the sheriff or
other levying officer. The levying officer will pay the
money to a creditor who has a court judgment against
you. The information below may help you protect the
money you earn.
WG-003

judgment creditor to have a specified amount withheld each pay
period. Complete item 3 on the form to indicate the amount you
agree to have withheld each pay day during the withholding
period. (Be sure it's less than the amount to be withheld otherwise.)
If your creditor accepts your offer, he will not oppose your claim of
exemption. (See (1) below. )
2. Fill out both forms. On the forms are some sentences or words
in front of them. The box means the
which have boxes
5. Sign the Claim of Exemption and Financial Statement forms. Be
words which follow may not apply to your case. If the words do
apply, put a check in the box.
sure the Claim of Exemption form shows the address where you
receive mail.
6. Mail or deliver two (2) copies of each of the two forms to the levying
officer. Keep one copy for yourself in case a court hearing is
necessary.
3. For example, if your child has special medical expenses, tell which
child, what illnesses, who the doctor is, how often the doctor must
be visited, the cost per visit, and the costs of medicines. These
details should be listed in item 6. If you need more space, put ''See
attachment 6'' and attach a typed 8½ by 11 sheet of paper on which
you have explained your expenses in detail.
Do not use the Claim of Exemption and Financial Statement forms to
seek a modification of child support or alimony payments. These
payments can be modified only by the family law court that ordered
them.
FILE YOUR CLAIM OF EXEMPTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR
THE MOST PROTECTION.
4. You can use the Claim of Exemption form to make an offer to the
ONE OF TWO THINGS WILL HAPPEN NEXT
(1) The judgment creditor will not oppose (object to) your claim of
you prove your Claim of Exemption and Financial Statement are correct
and your earnings are needed to support yourself or your family.
exemption. If this happens, after 10 days the levying officer will tell
your employer to stop withholding or withhold less from your
earnings. The part (or all) of your earnings needed for support will
be paid to you or paid as you direct. And you will get back earnings
the levying officer or your employer were holding when you asked
for the exemption.
—OR—
(2) The creditor will oppose (object to) your claim of exemption. If this
happens, you will receive a Notice of Opposition and Notice of
Hearing on Claim of Exemption, in which the creditor states why
your exemption should not be allowed. A box in the middle of the
Notice of Hearing tells you the time and place of the court hearing
which will be in about ten days. Be sure to go to the hearing if you
can.
If the judge at the hearing agrees with you, your employer will be
ordered to stop withholding your earnings or withhold less money. The
judge can even order that the EWO end before the hearing (so you
would get some earnings back).
If the judge does not agree with you, the withholding will continue
unless you appeal to a higher court. The rules for appeals are
complex so you should see an attorney if you want to appeal.
If the judgment creditor has checked the box in item 3 on the Notice of
Hearing on Claim of Exemption, the creditor will not be in court. If you
are willing to have the court make its decision based on your Financial
Statement and the creditor's Notice of Opposition, you need not go to
the hearing.
If you have one court hearing, you should not file another Claim of
Exemption about the same EWO unless your finances have gotten
worse in an important way.
The Notice of Opposition to Claim of Exemption will tell you why the
creditor thinks your claim should not be allowed. If you go to the
hearing, take any bills, paycheck stubs, cancelled checks, or other
evidence (including witnesses) that will help
If your EWO is to be changed or ended, the levying officer must sign
the notice to your employer of the change. He may give you
permission to deliver it to the employer, or it can be mailed.
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR EARNINGS IF YOU FILE A CLAIM OF EXEMPTION?
Your employer must continue to hold back part of your earnings for the
EWO until he receives a notice signed by the levying officer to change
the order or end it early.
The levying officer will keep your withheld earnings until your Claim of
Exemption is denied or takes effect. At that time your earnings will be
paid according to the law that applies to your case.
REGARDING CHILD SUPPORT
If you are obligated to make child support payments, the local child
support agency may help you to have an Order Assigning Salary or
Wages entered. This order has the top priority claim on your earnings.
When it is in effect, little or no money may be
available to be withheld for an EWO. And, if the local child support
agency is involved in collecting this support from you, it may agree to
accept less money if this special order is entered.
WHAT IF YOU STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
Also, the office of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department
of Labor may be able to answer some of your questions. Offices are

If you cannot see an attorney, or don't want to see an attorney, you
might be able to answer some of your questions by reading the law in a
law library. Ask the law librarian to help you find sections 706.050 and
706.105 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Other sections of the
code, beginning with section 706.010 may also answer some of your
questions.
EMPLOYEE INSTRUCTIONS (Wage Garnishment)
WG-003 [Rev. January 2, 2012]
Perhaps you can even prove the Notice of Opposition is wrong. For
example, perhaps the Notice of Opposition states that the judgment
was for wages for a past employee.You may be able to provide
evidence that the person was not an employee or that the debt was
not for wages.
1. Call or write the levying officer for three (3) copies each of the
forms called ''Claim of Exemption'' and ''Financial Statement.''
These forms are free. The name and address of the levying officer
are in the big box on the right at the top of the EWO.
Remember, it is your job to prove with the Financial Statement
form that your earnings are needed for support. Write down the
details about your needs.

–INFORMATION FOR JUDGMENT DEBTOR–
1. The levying officer is required to take custody of the property described in item 1 in your
possession or under your control.
2. You may claim any available exemption for your property. A list of exemptions is attached.
If you wish to claim an exemption for personal property, you must do so within 10
days after this notice was delivered to you or 15 days after this notice was mailed to
you by filing a claim of exemption and one copy with the levying officer as provided in
section 703.520 of the Code of Civil Procedure. If you do not claim an exemption, you
may lose it and the property is subject to enforcement of a money judgment. If you
wish to seek the advice of an attorney, you should do so immediately so that a claim
of exemption can be filed on time.
3. You are not entitled to claim an exemption for property that is levied upon under a judgment
for sale of property. This property is described in the accompanying writ of sale. You may,
however, claim available exemptions for property levied upon to satisfy damages or costs
awarded in such a judgment.
4. You may obtain the release of your property by paying the amount of a money judgment
with interest and costs remaining unpaid.
5. If your property is levied upon under a writ of execution or to satisfy damages and costs
under a writ of possession or sale, the property may be sold at an execution sale, perhaps
at a price substantially below its value. Notice of sale will be given to you. Notice of sale of
real property (other than a leasehold estate with an unexpired term of less than two years)
may not be given until at least 120 days after this notice is served on you. This grace
period is intended to give you an opportunity to settle with the judgment creditor, to obtain a
satisfactory buyer for the property, or to encourage other potential buyers to attend the
execution sale.
6. All sales at an execution sale are final; there is no right of redemption.
– INFORMATION FOR PERSON OTHER THAN JUDGMENT DEBTOR –
1. If the property levied upon is in your possession or under your control and you do not
claim the right to possession or a security interest, you must deliver the property to the
levying officer. If you do not deny an obligation levied upon or do not claim a priority
over the judgment creditor's lien, you must pay to the levying officer the amount that is
due and payable and that becomes due and payable during the period of the execution
lien, which lasts two years from the date of issuance of the writ of execution. You must
execute and deliver any documents needed to transfer the
property.
2. You must complete the accompanying Memorandum of Garnishee.
3. If you claim ownership or the right to possession of real or personal property levied
upon or if you claim a security interest in or lien on personal property levied upon, you
may make a third-party claim and obtain the release of the property pursuant to
sections 720.010–720.800 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
4. Make checks payable to the levying officer.
