hokiegrl 10 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 On the following webpage (http://www.creditinfocenter.com/creditreports/cr_time.shtml ) It states: Information concerning a lawsuit or a judgment against you can be reported for seven years or until the statute of limitations runs out, whichever is longer; Is this seven years after you pay it? Or seven years after the judgment is given? Link to post Share on other sites
flacorps 169 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 On the following webpage (http://www.creditinfocenter.com/creditreports/cr_time.shtml ) It states: Information concerning a lawsuit or a judgment against you can be reported for seven years or until the statute of limitations runs out, whichever is longer; Is this seven years after you pay it? Or seven years after the judgment is given?As a practical matter they tend to report for only seven years, but if you file a satisfaction with the recording office (court clerk or recorder of deeds) where the original judgment got picked up by the service that feeds the CRAs, it can show up as a paid judgment for another seven. Sometimes it's better just to pocket the satisfaction to be recorded later if push comes to shove in the course of buying a house or something. Link to post Share on other sites
hokiegrl 10 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Thank you! With the judgment falling off in June, is there any other way this judgment could affect me? I was considering buying a house - could they come after that still? Or affect me in some other way?Your help would be greatly appreciated!! Link to post Share on other sites
