I would think that going after a collection is different then your credit report. It is hard for a company to garnish your wages, depending on the amount it might not be worth them to do so. Can you be a little more specific, amount, are they still sending you letters or what is their action, it seems a long time to be chancing you een after 7 years.

The fact that it is no longer on your credit report does not mean that they can't take further action. Once the order for garnishment has been granted, they can still come after you. Unless it's a truly large sum of money, they will probably leave you alone. Usually, they will check your credit from time to time to see who your present employer is. This would be the quickest way to contact your employer to continue garnishment. Good luck!

If the collection is off your credit report then no one knows about it. If they were going to garnish your wages they would have done that a long time ago.

It depends. If both the collection activity and the judgment are past your States statute of limitations then the answer would be no.
If the S.O.L. has passed on both, they can still try and collect, they just cant sue you or garnish your wages.
Go to NDRC and look up Californias S.O.L dates and find out.

Credit report or not.....if you in fact owe someone the money then you are still responsible for the payment and any associated fees. This is, if they can prove you still owe them the money. If you have proof that the debt is paid, then you are fine.

Check with CA counsel as to whether Cal.C.C.P. § 337.5
applies -- 10 yrs for enforcement of a judgment in CA.
