how long does a court judgement stay on credit report
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), a judgment can show up on your credit report for at least seven years. It can show up even longer, depending on how much time your state's laws give effect to that judgment.For example, if a judgment was filed against you in Arizona, it is good for five years.f a judgment was entered against you in California, it can show up on your credit report for ten years, or even 20 years if the creditor renewed it on time.
