How long does it take for a lien to show up in your name, from judgment in a civil case?

If someone was awarded an amount of money in civil court, how long would it take for it show up on the credit report of the person that has to pay it? How long does it take for a lien to show up in your name, from judgment in a civil case?
It could take less time then you really know.


but if your the one that have to pay out the money your looking at the most 30 to 60 day's.How long does it take for a lien to show up in your name, from judgment in a civil case?
Once there is a judgment, it has to be recorded which is only a matter of days. Once it is recorded it will show up in a credit report immediately. A lien is different. It has to be filed and recorded and sometimes people don't get around to it for awhile (or maybe they do). Once the lien is recorded then it will show up immediately.
It really depends. The courts have companies that report to the credit agencies, some do it faster than others. I have had cases show up with in a month, and others it has taken 6 months.





Liens have to go through the recorders office, and sometimes the creditor finds it a pain to do the ';leg'; work so it takes a little longer.





Good Luck.
first of the month but the lien if the atty is worth his salt would attach to your real estate that day
