I can only answer on my own personal experience. When I applied for a mortgage I got a copy of the credit report and it showed a list of the things that positively and adversely affected my credit score. According to that, my judgment brought my score down 100 points.

∙ 10y agoWhen you owe a debt, a creditor can sue you for the amount you owe. If the court determines that it's your responsibility to pay it, a judgment is filed against you. This can show on your credit report because it's a public record and can have a significant, negative impact on your credit score.

How much can your credit score improve if you pay off a judgment?
== == Up to 10 - 20 point increase.
How would a collection of 230 affect a person with 50000 in available credit and 730 score?
Your credit score can be decreased by having collection accounts listed, a judgment, late payments or if you have too much available credit. If you have that much credit, you would want to contact the credit issuer to lower your credit limit. Your debt should never be more than 35% of the available credit. Timely, consistent payments to your creditors and low credit limits will help increase your credit score.
Does it hurt your credit score when you have a credit report service that allows you to check your credit score as much as you want?
It only hurts your credit score when someone else pulls your credit report.
How much does a judgement drop your credit score?
Credit scores are calculated based on ALL the information showing in your file at the time the score is requested. There is no way to guess the impact of one small piece of information on the whole without more information. In general: Public records are significant derogatory items and require a legal disposition. For a judgment, the disposition is either a Satisfaction of Judgment or an Order to Vacate Judgment (dismissal). Consumers with any item showing in the public records portion of their credit report take bigger hits for all other activity than a consumer with a clean public records section. This hit is larger even when the legal item is paid and shows a disposition.

What happens after a entry judgment is granted?
That pretty much depends upon how much the judgment is for. usually, if the judgment amount is small, then nothing happens except that you have a really negative mark on your credit report. If you attempt a purchase a home, the mortgage lender will force you to pay off the judgment before they will extend a mortgage loan to you. The judgment will appear on your credit report for a very long time and will negatively impact your credit score. If the judgment is for a relatively large amount of money, the creditor will most likely seek to garnish your earnings or attach monies in your bank accounts.

How do you have a good credit score?
The easiest way is to borrow money in a variety of different ways (e.g. credit cards, car loan, store revolving credit, student loan, mortgage) and always pay on schedule on all these loans. Do not keep the balance on credit cards too close to their credit limits. Also if you rent an apartment always pay your rent on time.However remember that every time you open a new credit card or loan account your credit score will drop for several months, so avoid doing too much credit activity at one time.

How much will your credit score drop when you file bankruptcy?
Aside from the bankruptcy remaining on your credit record for 10 years, your score may drop significantly. Hard to say with specificity since I don't know what it is to start with. Even if the drop is not very far, you will probably experience problems renting property, opening and/or maintaining a bank account, and in some cases a job. If you haven't filed yet, don't do it! Work it out with your creditors in writing and pay the debt off. A bad credit score will come off your credit record in 7 years and will not hurt you as deeply (in my opinion). Companies will generally work with you if they see that you did the responsible thing by working through the difficulty.
How much does a late credit card payment affect your credit score?
