Payment Log: Track Every Payment Until the Judgment Is Satisfied

What this is: a log for steps 14 and 15 of the roadmap: record every payment on a judgment or settlement until it's paid in full, then file a satisfaction of judgment (the form that tells the court you've been paid).

How to use it: fill in a row the day each payment arrives, keep proof (receipt, bank record, screenshot), and update the balance. If you're the one paying, use it too, and ask for a dated receipt each time. When and how to file the satisfaction of judgment depends on your court; check your court's rules.

This information is for educational purposes only. It is not legal advice. Rules, deadlines, fees and forms vary by state and court. Check your court's rules or self-help center before you act.
