Congratulations on winning your case.

If the losing party does not pay the Judgment within 30 days, you can now begin legal collection proceedings.

If you decide to begin collection proceedings to enforce your Judgment on your own, you can ask the small claim clerk in your county for the list of enforcement methods called the "Common Collection Sheet".

You will need to start a collections proceeding where you can ask the defendant for his financial and assets information to see whether you can exercise your right to garnish his wages or attach liens on his personal or private property.


If you click here, it will take you to a list of enforcement method for Illinois and you will be able to a access the forms and instructions on how to collect.
