Collection to Judgement?

Yes it will, Judgments show for 7-years of until the statute of limitations runs out whichever is longer.

Well the 7 yr thing only applies to certain type of bankruptcy. If you have a judgement filed against you for a credit matter, it will remain on all three credit bureau reports until you clear up that matter and pay what is owed. If you choose not to you should try to fight it and get the judgement reversed. Moral of this story is if you do nothing and ignore it, it isn't going to go anywhere ...... it will sit on your reports and wait for you to address it..... and will negatively affect any credit type transactions you try to make in the future *(ie. car loan, house loan, line of credit).... Don't let it just stew, fix it .... Good luck

The first answer is incorrect. Judgements report for 7 years, just like most other debts.

Hasdad - Did you ever join up over on Creditboards.com? I can't stress enough how you should do that.

You should check to see if the statute of limitations has expired on this debt. If it has, you need to use this as a defense. Review the court papers to see how to dispute the case against you.

The original debt may no longer be reported after 7yrs. but the judgment creates a new entry and will remain for 7yrs.
