Even if the case settled prior to trial - if the case was filed with The Clerk of The Court and it appeared on the court's docket, then there would be a publicly available record of it in the Court Clerk's Office. You would have to know where, and in what court system, the case was filed in order to locate the records of the proceedings and learn what the final dispostion was.

If you have ten days to answer before the judgment is enforced how should you answer?

If you wish to reply you must address your reply to the court either in person or by filing a motion (and you'd better be fast - 10 days goes by quickly) which addresses the subject matter of the judgment. However, if you have no defense and/or agree with the judgment, simply do nothing and the judgment will automatically take effect.

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.

How enforceable is a summary judgment?

A summary judgment is just as enforceable as any other judgment. The only difference between a summary judgment and a judgment after a trial is that a summary judgment is granted when the court believes that a trial is unnecessary. A trial would be unnecessary if the facts of the case are either undisputed or conclusively established. Once that is shown, then the court can grant a summary judgment after a proper motion is filed.
