According to Michigan law, your creditor has up to 6 years (from the date of your last payment) to collect on a debt, including obtaining a judgment on the debt. By getting a judgment, your creditor can pursue collections (likely a garnishment) almost indefinitely as long as they renew the judgment every 10 years.
You can try and get your money (called 'enforcing your judgment') by asking the court for: a warrant of control. an attachment of earnings order. a third-party debt order. a charging order.
A judgment from a Small Claims case expires six years after it is issued. Most other judgments in Michigan expire 10 years after they are issued. You can renew a judgment before it expires by filing a motion to renew a judgment.
As a judgment creditor, you can have a lien placed on the Defendant's property which may prevent him or her from selling the property without paying the judgment. You can also have the sheriff seize and sell any non-exempt property the Defendant owns, garnish non-exempt wages, or take non-exempt bank accounts, etc.
(1) Unless subsection (2) or (3) applies, a judgment lien expires 5 years after the date it is recorded. (2) Unless subsection (3) applies, if a judgment lien is rerecorded under subsection (4), the judgment lien expires 5 years after the date it is rerecorded.

The period of limitations is 6 years for an action founded upon a judgment or decree rendered in a court not of record of this state, or of another state, from the time of the rendition of the judgment or decree.
Here's how it might go: Backed by the judgment, the creditor can request an execution from the court. That gives an enforcement officer (like a Sheriff or City Marshal) the green light to go seize and sell your stuff. They could haul your collector car off to an auction, for example. It sounds invasive, but it's legal.
Michigan has a statute of limitations of six years, which applies to all types of debts. This means that if a debt is more than six years overdue or hasn't been paid in more than six years, creditors cannot take legal action.
Michigan's civil statute of limitations allows two years for personal injuries; up to six years for fraud, trespassing, collection of rent, contracts, and debt collection; and 10 years for judgments. Libel and slander (defamation) claims are the only civil action with a one-year limit.
Garnishment is a court procedure that allows you to collect the money owed to you by taking in from the judgment debtor's wages, bank account, or another source (such as income tax refunds). To file a garnishment, contact the court clerk for the proper forms. Instructions are provided with the form.
