Small Claims Judgement appearing on Credit reports

[Crystlhrt]

What is the name of your state?CA

I successfully sued in Small Claims court (most of what I requested plus costs) and am now trying to collect.

My question however, is how will this judgement appear on the defendant/debtor's credit reports? Do I need to file or report something somewhere or will it "just turn up" in some search that the reporting agencies do?

Thanks so much!

Sometimes they (credit reporting bureaus) will pull from public records, sometimes they won't. You'd have to contact them about putting it on the report otherwise.
