Judgments or Evictions are basically legal decisions of the court of law against a person who owes debt to somebody else. The creditor usually chooses this instrument of judgment to sue a debtor when he has lost all other alternatives to take the money out of him.

Once a judgment has been pronounced against a person, it is sent to the credit reporting agencies and the judgment gets reflected on your credit report. These judgments are thus negative piece of information in your credit report which badly affects your credit score and it remains on your credit report for 7 years from the date of entry or until the SOL in your state has expired. Even if the judgment is paid it will reflect in your credit report as "satisfied". Valid judgments can never be removed from your credit report. However, you should always dispute the incorrect evictions or judgments with the credit bureaus as it hurts your credit score.

To dispute evictions with the credit reporting agencies you may try out the following:
  • Highlight the incorrect entries and explain every thing to the credit reporting agencies with facts.
  • Make all correspondence with the Credit reporting agencies under certified mail.
  • You can also file an online dispute with the credit reporting agencies.
  • Do not make any settlement offers at this stage as you may be held responsible for the judgment even if the judgment showing on your credit report is illegitimate.
As soon as you dispute the eviction or judgment, the reporting agencies verify the item with the information providers. If the information providers cannot provide any valid response, the agencies will remove the incorrect judgment from your credit report.

Hi! judgments are negative information and they cannot be removed from the file before the seven years. This is according to the laws of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. You can't remove the valid ones, but you must dispute the one that is placed inaccurately in your file. It is hurting your credit in bad ways. If you have papers to prove the falsified judgment on you, send copies to the credit bureau that is reporting this entry. The bureau will run an investigation and verify the item with the information providers. If they don't get any legitimate records, it will be removed from your file.

Place your dispute with the bureau in writing and keep everything documented. Send your letters through certified mail with return receipt requested. You will be able to track down the dates of your disputes placed.

Highlight the incorrect entry and explain everything to the bureau with the facts. You have the rights to dispute on an item that you feel is incorrectly shown in the file. The bureau will take the responsibility and get the item verified. If the company issuing the judgment against you says that they have the right information in your file, they will send proof to the bureau. If they are lying, the bureau will get it. You will have all facts straightened out.

It will be better to involve the credit bureau in this process. They will do everything to put your credit file in shape.

Do not make any settlement offers to get the item removed otherwise, you might be assumed as responsible for it.

Default Confussed about eviction/ lease termination

I pulled one of my credit reports( trans union) and I don't see a active judgment on there from this apartment, however it is on my credit report and is from 2001. I did not get served an eviction notice, but was let out of my lease due to a dangerous situation. So here I am years later and since i no longer have the written agreement, in hand about them letting me out of my lease. What do I do?

I already have the debt validation letter ready to be mailed off to the current collection agency, but want to be certain i'm going about this the correct way before doing so and making a mess of thigns.

Also Now i do have another legit eviction and want to make payment arrangements, how should i start going about that? I know how much i can afford monthly, SO where should i start and whats reasonable to ask to settle if the debt is 2,896.93. Now honestly i don't know if that's the correct amount because it has been over 10 years, so should I send them a validation letter as well, to start or just offer up the settlement?

It is likely past the SOL for lawsuits, and it seems to be passed the SOL for the credit report.

Send the dispute to the credit reporting agencies, mentioning the Statute of Limitations.

Default Evictions

I have 3 evictions on my credit report when I was a minor and have never resided at these residences as far as I know. I keep disputing them and they keep saying that I am responsible for them. How Do I go about getting them removed. I am now 23 and have never had an apartment and can't get one because of these evictions. Can you please advise me on what to do?
