, how I can I place a judgement against a tenant for non-payment of rent?
If the judgment was granted against someone other than the deceased the judgment is still valid and will remain until it is satisfied or paid in full.
No. It will show that you had a judgment on your credit report for up to seven years, but it will show a zero balance.
Short answer, a valid judgment can be executed against the debtor's non exempt property at any time. A judgment that has been perfected as a lien against real property is more likely to be implemented as a forced sale of the property in question. And a judgment accrues interest until it is paid or satisfied with the judgment creditor.
Yes...once it is paid.
When a person is taken to civil court (for example, a credit card company suing a cardholder to get paid back), the court makes a judgment for or against the plaintiff (entity initiating the lawsuit, in this example, the credit card company). If the judgment is for the plaintiff, the result is effectively a judgment against the defendant (the person taken to court in the example). Part of the judgment is the amount that is to be paid to the entity winning the court case (judgment). Judgements against a borrower (and the amount set to be paid by that borrower) will make their way onto the credit report and will cause a drop in credit score.
Yes. They remain as a negative item on your credit report for seven years from the date of the judgment, whether they are paid or not. You do, however, now have the right to ask that your explanation of the item be included in the report. You can provide the credit reporting agency with a paragraph explaining mitigating circumstances, such as that you did in fact pay the judgment in full.
== == A judgment will remain on a credit report for the full 10 years. If it is paid it will still show on the report as "satisfied" or similar wording. The time is determined by the date the judgment is issued.
The judgment creditor must be paid in full according to the terms of the judgment order. Most judgments are renewable and can remain on a credit report indefinitely until paid.
If it was not paid in full or settled, the judgment may have been renewed by the judgment holder. Most judgments are renewable and can be kept on a credit report for an undetermined amount of time.
Did you file a satisfaction with the courts?
A satisfied judgment can stay on your credit report in Washington for up to seven years from the date it was filed. However, its impact on your credit score diminishes over time as you build a more positive credit history.
This statement means that the enforcement of the judgment will be postponed until the final payment is made. Once the payment is received in full, the judgment will be considered satisfied. While the judgment may still be filed on your credit report, it should reflect that it has been satisfied once the payment is received.
