The credit bureaus receive public record information (such as judgements) from a third party service, Lexis Nexis.
Individuals can't report other people to the credit bureaus. Companies must meet legal requirements to input and access credit bureau files. Credit bureaus are regulated businesses who accept entries from their paying clients. Those clients must meet legal criteria to access and imput data to a consumers' credit file. There is no way that an individual would qualify, even if that person were willing to pay the fees. As an individual, you can take someone else to court over a debt. If you win the case, you would be granted a judgment. This judgment, being a public record, would eventually show up on the defendants credit report. This type of public record is routinely included in credit reports. Turn a bill in for collections to a collection agency. They'll take a percentage of any money collected, but in the process they can report to the reporting agencies.
Judgments do not get "reported" to the credit reporting agencies. Independent contractors scan public records and then sell these documents to third party data furnishers. An example is Hogan/LexisNexis and Choicepoint. Records that pertain to credit, (judgments, tax liens, bankruptcy and foreclosure) are then re-sold to the CRA's. A consumer battling their own default judgment can have a disposition recorded at the same jurisdiction as the original legal item was filed. Plaintiffs can do the same with the original filing and trust the record will find its' way onto the defendant's credit report. Their is no other direct way for an individual or company to report a public record.
You don't. Credit bureaus are regulated businesses who accept entries from their paying clients. Those clients must meet legal criteria to access and imput data to a consumers' credit file. There is no way that an individual would qualify, even if that person were willing to pay the fees. An individual has the option of filing a case against someone who owes them money. Given proof that withstands the rigors of law; if a judgment were granted, that judgment would be recorded in the public records. This type of public record is routinely included in credit reports.
A stipulation is simply a condition that must be met as a result of the entry of a judgment. Sometimes, a stipulation may provide for the judgment to be dismissed upon satisfaction. In all cases, once a filing for a judgment is made (i.e the creditor files the lawsuit in court) there is now a public record of the judgment and that event is what shows up on a credit report. Most of the time, the result of the judgment is not going to show up in the credit report. So, if someone were to frivolously file 10 lawsuits against you, all ten will show up on your credit report, even tho they may all be dismissed by the judge. So, if you have a stipulated judgment that can be dismissed once it is paid, only the public records in your county will be updated to reflect the satisfaction of the judgment and subsequent dismissal... the credit report will only show the initial filing and amount. It is up to you to contact the credit bureaus and dipute a dismissed judgment and provide them with proof of the dismissal to have it complete removed from your credit report. Always get a Satisfaction of Judgment or an abstract from the court showing the disposition of the case if it is dismissed. These documents are sometimes required to be signed by the original creditor as well as proof the debt is satisfied. If a creditor doesn't sign it, it may not be considered legally paid. So, be thorough and follow through in order to make sure your credit report shows exactly what it should be showing.

If the judgment was reported to the credit bureaus, the tenant needs to pay it, get the judgment amended to zero by the court, and send that to the credit bureaus. However, the fact that there was a case can never be erased.
A judgment is typically placed on someone's credit report when a creditor takes legal action against them for unpaid debts and wins a judgment in court. This judgment is then recorded with credit bureaus and can negatively impact the person's credit score.
You can submit a copy of the satisfaction of judgment to the credit bureaus that this will improve your credit rating somewhat. The best thing to do is to ask the judgment creditor to stipulate to set aside the judgment and dismiss the case. You would need to send a copy of the order setting aside the judgment to the credit bureaus. You can try disputing the entry, but the existence of the judgment is a matter of public record.
Individuals cannot "put" something on someone else's credit report. Judgments are part of the public record, and as such, are the subject of routine searches by individuals who re-sell this type of information to Credit Reporting Agencies. So, if you were the prevailing party in a judgment, you can be relatively certain the judgment will find it's way onto the defendants credit. In most states, a judgment must be recorded twice to ensure that it attachs to any real property owned by the defendant.
Yes, if they get a judgment against you, and most do. Once the judgment has been entered and is public record, that judgment will go on your credit reports and it will tank your credit scores.

Negative credit information remains on a credit report for seven (7) years from the time it is reported. Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains for ten (10) years from the time of discharge or reportage to the credit bureaus. In some cases judgment liens they also expire after 7 years unless/until the lien holder renews the judgment. If a judgment is renewed, most can be, it can be reentered on the judgment debtor's CR and will remain until satisfied or the time once again expires. This is only one example of why judgment liens are so damaging for the judgment debtor.
An individual landlord is not able to directly report a tenant to a consumer credit reporting agency such as Experian. If you decide not to obtain a judgment in small claims court, then you can turn the account over to a collection agency, who is able to report the outstanding debt. However, the collection agency will get 30%-50% of amounts they collect. If you do obtain a judgment, it is a public record and reported to the consumer credit bureaus automatically. Actually a landlord can report debt as a collection account for less than $20 per debtor. Check out my blog at www.thelandlorddoctor.com or contact me at Bill@thelandlorddoctor.com
An outstanding judgment is a court order that gives a creditor the legal right to collect from a debtor. As court judgments are a matter of public record, a creditor can report the judgment on the debtor's credit reports. An example of a judgment placed on a credit report would be a judgment for eviction. This judgment will remain on the credit report for seven years from the filing date.
