In Ohio, once a debt collector has obtained a judgment in small claims court, the statute of limitations does not prevent garnishment as the judgment itself is enforceable. However, if a significant amount of time has passed since the judgment was issued (typically 21 years for most debts), you may be able to argue that the judgment is no longer enforceable. It's important to consult with a legal professional to understand your specific situation and options for challenging the garnishment.
