Both a consent judgment and a settlement order involve agreements to resolve a debt, but they may impact your credit differently. A consent judgment typically shows up as a court-ordered action on your credit report and may have a more negative impact. A settlement order may also affect your credit, but the impact could be less severe depending on how it is reported by the creditor.
