Collections Law/credit question

Question
when a private landlord in Arizona wins a money judgment against a tenant does the judgment automatically get reported to the credit agencys?

Answer
There is no definite answer to this.  Some of the CRAs pull this data from the court house so, if your land lord records the judgement, there is a good chance it will be reported.  Other that that, it is left up to your land lord.  If he reports it, he does.  If not, he doesn't.

I hope you find this helpful.

Yes there is a charge to record the judgement.

Expertise

I am qualified to answer questions on the following subjects: FDCPA, FCRA and HIPAA as well as medical collections, general collections and collection agency related issues. I trained these subjects at a nationwide collection agency and customer service call center and audited around 150 representatives for compliance to the laws. I have been in the Collections Industry for over 30 years. I feel that everyone deserves to be treated fairly and with compassion and that is the way I trained collectors. Even though I worked for a Collection Agency, I get great satisfaction in helping those who have been mistreated or in need of help with these confusing issues.

Experience

I was the Compliance Administrator with a nationwide collection agency and customer service call center-I have trained hundreds of collectors on the above referenced topics. I have been in the medical collections industry for over twenty years and research these topics on a daily basis.
