how long does a small claim judgement stay on your credit
This means the judgment could be used to garnish your wages or file a bank levy or lien on your house or other property. The only positive in this situation is that in September, the collection account will be removed from your credit report, which should boost your credit history. The judgment should also be removed from your credit report seven years from the date it was entered. The bad news is the judgment will still be there, even though you can't see it on your credit report, lurking in the shadows, waiting for the worst possible time to leap out and surprise you.
