Typically the creditor. If things went screwy you can usually make payment to the clerk for the value of the judgment and they will issue a satisfaction. If it gets off track, you may need to hire a lawyer to help get it resolved. You can always call our office to arrange for a FREE conference at 1-800-922-6442.
