A judgment creditor is a person or entity that has won a legal case and has been awarded a monetary judgment by a court. This means that the court has determined that the debtor owes them a specific amount of money. The judgment creditor can take steps to collect the debt, which may include garnishing wages or placing liens on property. Once a judgment is obtained, the judgment creditor has certain rights to enforce the collection of the debt. They may work with legal processes to ensure that the debtor, also known as the judgment debtor, pays the amount owed as determined by the court.
