FAQ
You can look at your credit report at .annualcreditreport or you can go to the local clerk for the courts and search the county database. If there are judgments in other jurisdictions you would have to look there as well.
Judgment is a court decision that settles a dispute between two parties by determining the rights and obligations of each party. Judgments are classified as in personam, in rem, or quasi in rem. Judgments are usually monetary, but can also be non-monetary, and are legally enforceable.
Most judgment liens last for 10 years and can be renewed for another 10 years. For example, the creditor could place a judgment lien on your home which would inhibit you from selling the property without first paying the creditor what you owe.
In the United States, nobody can get a judgment against you without demonstrating to the court that you were served with the summons and complaint. A showing of deficient or fraudulent service is or should be sufficient to overturn a judgment.
Judicial records are open to the public unless exempt from disclosure, and where a respondent does not raise exemptions and the special committee cannot conclude any apply the records must be released.
Judgment Lien File the judgment or Abstract of Judgment in the office of the County Recorder in the county in which the debtor's real property is located. If the debtor has real property in more than one county, file in each county. Also file with the County Recorder a Judgment Information Statement.
Creditors typically acquire property liens through your voluntary consent. On the other hand, creditors get judgment liens after winning a lawsuit against you for a debt you owe.
