Common confusion points
Confusing this form with a simple 'Notice of Judgment'—this is the *request* to enforce, not just the notification.
Not knowing whether to apply in the District Court or Circuit Court; check the original judgment source.
Assuming the debt is automatically enforced; you must actively use Form 41B.09 to trigger action.
Mistaking the application for enforcement for a simple claim form (which might be different depending on context).
Forgetting to attach proof that the obligation has actually been ignored.
