A judgment is entered upon by a court. This means that a lender has sued your for payment of a debt.
This is a last resort for lenders, and will cause a great amount of damage to your credit rating.
This mark can be reported on your credit for up to 10 years depending upon what state the judgment was filed in. This mark will probably keep you from being approved for any future credit, without paying outrageous interest rates.
A judgment can cause the interest rate on your credit card to increase. This is one of the most severe marks to have on your credit report.
You can have this mark removed from your credit. The most effective way is to dispute the accuracy or validity of the mark.
You dispute a listing by sending in a dispute letter to the credit bureaus. This is your method of challenging the accuracy and validity of the listing. This can be done yourself or by hiring a credit repair firm to do it on your behalf.
The advantage of a professional is that they are more likely to get a response and an investigation started by the credit bureaus. Frequently individuals are given the run around.
The credit bureaus are not likely to respond to the first dispute letter no matter who it comes from. This is because it costs the credit bureaus money to investigate dispute claims.
Therefore common responses to an initial dispute letter are to ask the consumer for more information regarding the dispute. The credit bureaus do this regardless of their need for the information.
However once an investigation is performed a listing is often removed regardless of its accuracy. This is because it costs the lenders too much money to verify uncollectable debts.
So once you get a valid dispute submitted and have an investigation conducted there is a good chance the listing will be removed. - 15224
