If someone sued you and won a money judgment against you, it would show up on a credit report if you failed to pay the amount, and a collection agency was engaged to collect it, but failed to obtain payment from you.
When a person wins a money judgment in a lawsuit, the court order will state the amount due to that person (the plaintiff) from the defendant who lost the lawsuit. Amounts ordered by a court can, alternatively, be collected by the County Sheriff's Department, on behalf of the person who won the lawsuit. Collections processed by the County are typically done via wage garnishment of the person who owes the money.
