I was a party in an arbitration that I brought against a franchisor for fraud and violations of a state's Franchise Act. The franchisor filed claims against me as well. The arbitration panel ruled in favor of the franchisor and issued a judgment against me. A federal judge overturned the arbitrator's award. A US Court of Appeals then overturned the federal judge's ruling and ordered the judgment against me to be reinstated.
It has been a year since the judgment was reinstated. I have not been contacted by the judgment creditor.
1. Does the judgment creditor have a certain amount of time in which to collect the judgment, after which its right is forfeited?
2. Why is the judgment not visible on my credit report?
