What is the name of your state? Michigan

Does anyone know how long it takes for a judgement to show up on a credit report?

If you know you probably won't ever see a penny of the judgement why on earth do I even bother? I was awarded a $1,442.00 judgement today. But I am very dobtful I'll ever see a penny of it.

The marshal, sheriff, or constable may be able to execute the collection of a judgement on your behalf. Check with the local officials with the jurisdiction to garnish wages or lien bank accounts. If the tenant still works and lives in the State of Michigan, THE JUDGEMENT IS EXECUTABLE.
(It is more complicated if the jurisdiction of judgement has changed due to tenant's work or dwelling in a different state.)

Another thing to learn is what your states proccess is to renew a judgment. This will double the time on it , Sooner or later something is bound to change where the former tenant will have funds and the judgement might get cleaned up. Its sort of a waiting game.
