Question

Do judgements ever come of your credit report? How long does it take, if it does?

Answer 1

They don't take 7 years, thats a bankruptcy, judgments will stay on your report until

1.  you pay it off and request the company remove the judgment

2.  If it is a tax judgment & Paid they will list on the report when it will come off

3.  If it is never paid then consider it permanent or 10 years

Answer 2

girlluvspule is wrong.

Bankruptcies stay on your report for 10 years.

Judgments stay on for 7 years, regardless if paid or not.

Please do your research and read the Fair Credit Reporting Act, unless you like me constantly point out and correcting your poor answers.

Answer 3

7 years on report, unless they are bought by another company, which can illegally keep posting to your report after 7 yrs. Its up to the consumer to keep track of their credit report accuracies.
