You can file the paperwork immediately to begin the collection process. Should they file an appeal that issue will be dealt with at that time, but since you were awarded the judgment, you have every right to begin immediate collection of that judgment. Contact your local Clerk of Court for the forms you will need to file (you can see these type of forms HERE for Cook County). You can read more HERE and contact the Clerk for verification HERE.
