, how I can I place a judgement against a tenant for non-payment of rent?
If the judgment was granted against someone other than the deceased the judgment is still valid and will remain until it is satisfied or paid in full.
No. It will show that you had a judgment on your credit report for up to seven years, but it will show a zero balance.
Short answer, a valid judgment can be executed against the debtor's non exempt property at any time. A judgment that has been perfected as a lien against real property is more likely to be implemented as a forced sale of the property in question. And a judgment accrues interest until it is paid or satisfied with the judgment creditor.
Yes...once it is paid.
When a person is taken to civil court (for example, a credit card company suing a cardholder to get paid back), the court makes a judgment for or against the plaintiff (entity initiating the lawsuit, in this example, the credit card company). If the judgment is for the plaintiff, the result is effectively a judgment against the defendant (the person taken to court in the example). Part of the judgment is the amount that is to be paid to the entity winning the court case (judgment). Judgements against a borrower (and the amount set to be paid by that borrower) will make their way onto the credit report and will cause a drop in credit score.
Yes. They remain as a negative item on your credit report for seven years from the date of the judgment, whether they are paid or not. You do, however, now have the right to ask that your explanation of the item be included in the report. You can provide the credit reporting agency with a paragraph explaining mitigating circumstances, such as that you did in fact pay the judgment in full.
== == A judgment will remain on a credit report for the full 10 years. If it is paid it will still show on the report as "satisfied" or similar wording. The time is determined by the date the judgment is issued.
The judgment creditor must be paid in full according to the terms of the judgment order. Most judgments are renewable and can remain on a credit report indefinitely until paid.
If it was not paid in full or settled, the judgment may have been renewed by the judgment holder. Most judgments are renewable and can be kept on a credit report for an undetermined amount of time.
Did you file a satisfaction with the courts?
A paid judgment stays on a person's credit report for seven years. An unpaid judgment also stays on the report for seven years, but may be renewed. Tax liens are another item that stay on a credit report for seven years, if paid. If not paid, they remain on the credit report indefinitely.
The statement, "execution of judgment is stayed until final payment is received at which time judgment will be deemed satisfied" means that the judgment will be held against you until the debt is completely paid off. You can then get a letter of clearance to have the judgment removed from your credit report. Most debts will remain on a credit report for 7-10 years, even after they have been paid and satisfied.
