Obviously, it is not going to be a good, positive thing for your credit rating. But you really need to be more concerned as to HOW this judgment might be enforced. In many states, a judgment can be enforced by garnishing your wages, liening real property or selling personal items to satisfy this judgment. Which means, constables or other law enforcement officers show up at your house and take an inventory of your belongings for sale. That is not pleasant. Check with your states Attorney General and find out what laws are in place for the collection of judgments. This is nothing to blow off. AND, if you own nothing at this moment, an attorney can go after the statute of limitations are up and just renew this judgment and possibly lien your home you would own in the future. So, be careful.
