You have a judgment concerning a credit card? They can take your paycheck. They might put a lien against your bank account. They probably won't take your house. You surely don't owe them that much money. They do the other stuff first.

Which is worse Charge off or judgment?
Depends how you look at it. They hurt your credit score the same if they are on your credit report. But they can be collected differently. If someone gets a judgment against you they can garnish your wages and take your tax refund. A charged off account is usually sent to collections and could possible be turned into a judgment. Either way, you still owe debt on both and they hurt your credit the same.
What is the difference between an agreed judgment and default judgment and will both have equal impact on credit ratings?
There's no difference in how the judgment is entered on a credit report. An agreed judgment indicates the debtor(s) appeared in court but did not have a valid defense as to why the debt was not owed, therefore a judgment was entered against him or her. A default judgment indicates the debtor(s) did not appear in court thereby forfeiting the right to defend the suit, resulting in a default judgment being entered in favor of the plaintiff. The execution procedure of either type judgment is also the same.

It can be easier if you use their credit by putting them on title on the home and use there credit, however they will be responsible for the loan and be on title as at least a part owner. If you use another persons credit to do a refinance, the other person must in most title states be put on title and will be responible for the loan even if you both sign which you would have to do.

How does surrendering your house in chapter 7 affect your credit report?
If you are surrendering your house anyways, it is usually better for your credit score if you do it through bankruptcy. If your house is foreclosed on before you file bankruptcy, then your credit score is hit by both the foreclosure and the bankruptcy. If you let your house go back through bankruptcy, instead, then your credit score is only hit by a bankruptcy.

Can you still be contacted on a debt that was written off in 1993?
There is no statute of limitations on collecting a bad debt. If you owed the debt in 1993 and never paid it, you still owe the debt. A judgment has a statute of limitations that is set by both the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act and laws of the state in which you live, or the credit (or collection agency) does business "...whichever is longer". There are circumstances under which an 11 year old debt could be both reported on your credit, collected and filed suit on. If you suspect the statute of limitations has expired; it gives you a cause for disputing the credit report entry and a defense to the judgment.
