How do we report an unpaid civil judgement to the credit bureau?
ahisch asked:
We were awarded a civil judgement signed by a judge and filed with our local courts in Jackson County MO for $100,000. The defendant never paid this amount and we would like for this to show up on his credit report. I have been told unpaid civil judgements can be included in the personal section of a credit report but I am unable to find out how to get the credit bureaus to acknowledge this judgement and show it on his credit report. Can anyone tell me how to get this debt on his credit report?

The credit bureaus routinely check these public records, so they will likely find it, if they haven’t already.
