Why Sell Your Georgia Judgment Instead of Collecting?
In Georgia, you have up to 7 years (dormancy) + 3 yr revival to enforce a civil judgment — but enforcement requires time, legal resources, and often multiple court proceedings across different tools: wage garnishments, bank levies, and property liens.
Post-judgment interest accrues at Prime rate + 3% per annum, which adds value over time — but only if the debtor actually has assets you can reach. Many debtors actively avoid collection by hiding assets, changing employment, or depleting bank accounts.
Selling your Georgia judgment to Great Lakes Strategic Capital converts that uncertain future recovery into an immediate, guaranteed cash payment. We handle all enforcement risk, legal costs, and debtor contact after the assignment is complete.

Georgia Judgment Recovery — FAQ
How long is a civil judgment enforceable in Georgia?
In Georgia, civil judgments are generally enforceable for 7 years (dormancy) + 3 yr revival. Judgments can typically be renewed before expiration to preserve enforceability. Cite: O.C.G.A. §§ 9-12-60, 9-12-61.
What post-judgment interest accrues on my Georgia judgment?
Georgia judgments accrue post-judgment interest at Prime rate + 3% per annum. This interest is added to the unpaid principal balance from the date of judgment entry, increasing the total owed if the debtor does not pay promptly.
Is wage garnishment available in Georgia?
Yes. Georgia allows wage garnishment for civil judgments, generally limited to 25% of the debtor's disposable earnings under both state and federal law. Specific exemptions may apply.
What is the homestead exemption in Georgia?
The homestead exemption in Georgia is $21,500. This amount is protected from judgment liens and execution on a debtor's primary residence. Judgments may still attach to equity above this threshold.
