How does the winning plaintiff have a judgment entered on the defendant's credit report?
The winning plaintiff can request a judgment be entered on the defendant's credit report by filing a copy of the judgment with the credit bureaus. This can negatively impact the defendant's credit score and make it difficult for them to obtain credit or loans in the future. Judgments typically stay on a credit report for a certain number of years, depending on the jurisdiction.
What steps do you have to take in detail to file a judgment?
A lawsuit must be filed against the debtor/defendant in the court of jurisdiction. If the plaintiff wins the suit a judgment will then be entered against the defendant. Judgments can be executed against the property or wages of the debtor in accordance with the laws of the state in which the judgment is awarded.

What will happen if you do not show up for court when being sued by collection agency or credit card company?
The defendant is not required to make an appearance in a creditor suit, but if he or she does not appear the plaintiff (creditor) will win by default and a judgment will be entered against the debtor. FYI, unless the defendant has undisputable evidence that the suit is faulty (debt not valid, wrong person being sued, etc.) it will make no difference in the outcome whether the defendant debtor appears or not, the plaintiff will be awarded a judgment.
Can a defendant request a reduction of payment of a small claims judgment?
If what you mean is that a judgment has been entered against you, and you wish to pay a lower amount, you certainly can try to compromise with the Plaintiff. Frequently, the Plaintiff will see it as a chance to get a sum certain within a short period of time, and thereby, worth it to compromise the total amount. In order to get that sort of compromise, it is helpful that you have cash in hand ready to be paid quickly. Keep in mind that once a judgment has been entered, the Plaintiff has no obligation to reduce the amount. It then becomes purely a business transaction.
What happens if you don't appear in a civil suit court case?
The plaintiff wins the case by default and a judgment is entered against the defendant. A civil lawsuit summons is not a court order per se and therefore the defendant is not obligated to appear. An order of appearance from the court, interrogatories, depositions, discovery motions and so forth are different matters and the person(s) named should always respond. Legal counsel is always advisable in such matters.
Can a judgment be filed against a person without going to court?
No, even if the plaintiff wins the case through arbitration they will still need to file a petition with the court of venue to receive a writ of judgment. On the other side, however, if the defendant fails to respond to a summons pertaining to a lawsuit or judgment he/she will lose by default and may not be able to claim any of their property exemptions.
What if you're legally separated and someone has a judgment against the other person?
It depends on what type of judgment is in place. If the person is the sole debtor but there is still jointly owned property, the plaintiff can place a lien against the defendant's share. Or use the judgment as a wage garnishment or bank account levy. In some states joint accounts can be levied against. If that happens, the funds are frozen and the non-debtor must submit proof to the court what portion of the account belongs to them. If the debt was not joint the judgment will be only be entered on the PR of the plaintiff's credit report.
