Generally no, but some lenders will allow a judgment to stay open on your credit report if you provide a repayment agreement and proof that payments have been made on time for 6-12 months.

Probably, in most cases a judgment is entered against the defendant.

The length of time a judgment remains public record depends upon the laws of the state in which the judgment is entered.


How long will an unpaid judgment stay on your record and once removed from your record can the unpaid judgment still be enforced for example if you buy a car or house?

Judgments remain in the public recoreds portion of a credit report for 7 years. Most judgments are renewable and can be reentered thereby making it possible for a judgment to remain on the CR for an undetermined amount of time. Until a judgment is paid in full or satisfied, it is valid and enforceable and can impact any future financial transactions. The FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) Statute of Limitations is 7 years for reporting, even if the Judgment is renewed by the Plaintiff who has the judgment against you, it cannot report after the SOL has run its' course.

How long does an unpaid judgment stay on a credit report?

Seven years or until the SOL pertaining to the judgment expires. Many states have domestic judgment SOL's that are 10 or 20 years, and many judgments are renewable. The older the judgment becomes, the less affect it has on the credit score. It will may cause other problems, for example, if the consumer wants to buy or refinance a home and in some cases, a vehicle(s), the lender may require the judgment be paid before approving any loan.
