There's no difference in how the judgment is entered on a credit report. An agreed judgment indicates the debtor(s) appeared in court but did not have a valid defense as to why the debt was not owed, therefore a judgment was entered against him or her. A default judgment indicates the debtor(s) did not appear in court thereby forfeiting the right to defend the suit, resulting in a default judgment being entered in favor of the plaintiff. The execution procedure of either type judgment is also the same.

Some report every 30 days at the end of the month, others on different days. It would be a safe assumption that a judgment will appear on your credit 90-120 days after it is court ordered.

If the judgment is not yours, you will need to find the state and county in which they were filed and dispute this information with all three credit bureaus.
