You must file your documents in the case in which the Court awarded a money judgment in your favor.
A money judgment from County Court is good for six years from the judgment date.
A money judgment from District Court is good for 20 years from the judgment date.
You may file if the Judgment Debtor has not complied with the Court Order, e.g. failed to respond to interrogatories following service or has filed an answer that does not adequately respond to the questions.
The Court cannot collect your money judgment for you.
