Although this is not a guarantee, you do have a right to contact the creditor to work out a deal to have the judgement removed. When you do this offering to pay the debt in full or make installments can be helpful. Only agree to do this when the creditor has made an agreement to erase the judgment off of your record. This must be in writing. If this does not work the use of a qualified attorney can help to make this happen. Creditors have the power to have judgements removed. Some will be happy to work with you and some will refuse even when offering to pay the balance.

If the collection agency works in tandem with a law firm (which is the case most of the time) then the answer is yes. What does this mean? If a judgment is granted by a judge, then it is the age old saying, pay me now or pay me later. Anytime your credit is ran (over the next 20 years) then it will show and credit will not be granted until the judgment is satisfied. Keep in mind if a judgment is granted interest probably continues to accrue until satisfied. If at all possible, it is best to inter into a stipulation agreement with the firm and work it out.
