how long will a judgement stay on my credit if its renewed
How Long Will a Judgment Appear on My 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. That means that even if the judgment isn't renewed, it can still show up on your creditor report for another two years. If 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.
