Information On Debtors Examination Regarding Consumer Debt {EJ-140-INFO}

EJ-140-INFO/SC-136-INFO - INFORMATION ON DEBTOR'S EXAMINATIONS REGARDING CONSUMER DEBT. The process described in this information sheet applies when a judgment awarded on or after January 1, 2025, concerns consumer debt. The judgment can be awarded in a small claims case or another type of civil case. This information sheet tells the judgment creditor (the person or business that won the case and is owed money) how to ask for a debtor’s examination in a case where the judgment concerns consumer debt. It also tells the judgment debtor (the person or business that owes the money) how they can respond to that request by providing written information instead of going to court. (Code Civ. Proc., § 708.111.) If the judgment is not for consumer debt or was not awarded on or after January 1, 2025, do not use the forms or procedures that are described in this information sheet. Judicial Council of California, Mandatory Form. Code of Civil Procedure, §§ 708.110, 708.111. www.FormsWorkflow.com
