Yes, a credit report only reflects the information which is reported to the 3 credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion) by Lexis Nexis which they gather from court public records.
Even if a judgement is not being reported by the credit bureaus, you may still be liable for it. To find out the status of a judgement, contact the court where the judgement was placed.

What happens when you have a judgment but it doesn't show up on credit reports?
Nothing until that judgment hits the credit report. Many municipalities where civil judgments are given take a great deal of time to report the judgment to the credit bureaus. However, the lender has been reporting the progress throughout the process, so there will be negative information on the credit report associated with the judgment even if that judgment has not yet been recorded. Due to the recent credit-related legislation, existing creditors will not be able to change their pricing or ask you to pay off everything that you own as a result of the judgment appearing on your credit report. But, if you seek and get credit but the judgment was shown to have occurred prior to being granted that credit and the lender can show that they would not have given you credit had they known about the judgment, the lender IS allowed to seek full payment immediately, regardless of the type of credit or length of contract. The best advice is to avoid applying for big-ticket loans (specifically mortgages, auto loans and personal loans) until the judgment has been on your record for two (2) years. After two (2) years, the negative impact of that judgment will lighten (assuming you make all of your payments to other creditors on time) and you may qualify for large loans again.
What are the consequences of a judgment?
The Fair Credit Reporting Act states that a judgment may remain on your credit report for 7 years. Many jurisdictions will also use a date a judgment was paid as the expiration date, even though payment does not necessarily constitute a disposition, called a satisfaction of judgment, which is a separate legal action. After a judgment is granted, the plaintiff may garnish the defendants wages, file an extention of the original judgment to extend the time period it may legally show on a consumer's credit report, or place a lien upon any property owned by the defendant. The latter might prevent sale or refinance of that property.

Is a stipulation recorded on credit history Is a stipulation the same thing as a judgment?
A stipulation is simply a condition that must be met as a result of the entry of a judgment. Sometimes, a stipulation may provide for the judgment to be dismissed upon satisfaction. In all cases, once a filing for a judgment is made (i.e the creditor files the lawsuit in court) there is now a public record of the judgment and that event is what shows up on a credit report. Most of the time, the result of the judgment is not going to show up in the credit report. So, if someone were to frivolously file 10 lawsuits against you, all ten will show up on your credit report, even tho they may all be dismissed by the judge. So, if you have a stipulated judgment that can be dismissed once it is paid, only the public records in your county will be updated to reflect the satisfaction of the judgment and subsequent dismissal... the credit report will only show the initial filing and amount. It is up to you to contact the credit bureaus and dipute a dismissed judgment and provide them with proof of the dismissal to have it complete removed from your credit report. Always get a Satisfaction of Judgment or an abstract from the court showing the disposition of the case if it is dismissed. These documents are sometimes required to be signed by the original creditor as well as proof the debt is satisfied. If a creditor doesn't sign it, it may not be considered legally paid. So, be thorough and follow through in order to make sure your credit report shows exactly what it should be showing.

How long will an unpaid judgment stay on your record and once removed from your record can the unpaid judgment still be enforced for example if you buy a car or house?
Judgments remain in the public recoreds portion of a credit report for 7 years. Most judgments are renewable and can be reentered thereby making it possible for a judgment to remain on the CR for an undetermined amount of time. Until a judgment is paid in full or satisfied, it is valid and enforceable and can impact any future financial transactions. The FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) Statute of Limitations is 7 years for reporting, even if the Judgment is renewed by the Plaintiff who has the judgment against you, it cannot report after the SOL has run its' course.
