Why "however?" Obviously, you can do one of three things: 1. pay the judgment, interest, etc.; 2. negotiate a settlement with the judgment creditor;, and 3. file bankruptcy. The judgment will stay on your credit report for at least 10 years (20 in some states, and renewable in others for an additional 10 years). The bankruptcy would have been on your report for 10 years from the date of filing. Go ahead, believe the corporate "financial analysts" on CNN and the networks who tell you NOT to file bankruptcy. It certainly helps them keep their jobs.
