How can I add a small claims judgment to someone&#39;s credit report?
<p>I won a judgement in small claims court against a tenant two years ago.  The person has not paid.  I'd like to know how to put the judgement on their credit report.</p>

<p>The easiest way would be to hire a collection agency to collect the debt (for a fee of course), because collection agencies routinely include debts that they are collecting in credit reports.</p>
<p>Credit reporting agencies differ in what other kinds of debts they will report. Recording a judgment lien in real property records will trigger a credit report entry with some agencies, but not others. Some agencies report all judgments entered in courts, but others don't. You could also contact a credit reporting agency and ask it if it will simply report your judgment without further action if you send them a copy.</p>
