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.

If you have a judgment and after 7 years it's off your credit does that mean that the creditor can't put a lien on any of your property?

I don't know if the laws are the same everywhere, but we had to get a judgment against someone and had a lien placed on his house. We were told that if we went back to court before the 7 years were up we could get another judgment against him and keep the lien in place. He's had a lien on his home for over 10 years now -- and until he pays his debt or the law changes we'll keep going back to court. Of course, he owes us a LOT of money. A judgment has to be renewed by the plaintiff at set intervals, determined by law. You can find the SOL relative to judgments for your state, and if the statute has expired, contact the court to see if the judgment has been renewed by the plaintiff. If not, they can't collect.

What if you took a contractor to court to pay your attorney fees to get an illegal lien off your house and he has not paid so how do you put a lien on him?

I assume you were awarded a "Judgment and Decree Quieting Title" or some other order to that effect. There is no way to file a "lien" against the contractor--you already have a civil judgment. I would first contact the contractor licensing authority in your state--they will be able to see if the contractor has a cash bond to attach the judgment to. Second, I would call a real estate or construction law attorney--look for attorneys in the phone book who give "free consultations."
