Best Answer

Three (3) years.

It is possible for one to retain the services of an attorney to remove the judgment from the credit records, however, the individual will need to prove that they did not owe the money in the first place. Any other circumstance (including paying the debt) will guarantee that the judgment will remain for the entire three (3) years.
