A judgment is a court order that is awarded when a lawsuit is won by a plaintiff. The judgment can be executed in several ways pursuant to the laws of the state where it was awarded. Some of them are, garnishment of wages, levy of bank account(s), liens against real property, seizure and sale of nonexempt assets belonging to the defendant. Macky...(macky83@juno.com)

What is a judgment in personal finance?

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.
