A judgment can significantly lower your credit score, which makes it harder to obtain credit in the future.
Credit scores are used by lenders to assess your creditworthiness, and a low score may result in higher
interest rates or being denied credit altogether.
Creditors may be hesitant to lend to you if you have a credit
judgment on your record. This may make it difficult for you to obtain credit cards, loans, or even a mortgage.
Also, some employers may check your credit report as part of the hiring process, particularly for jobs that
require handling money or sensitive financial information. Having a credit judgment on your record may make
it more difficult for you to secure employment in these fields. Finally, dealing with judgment can be stressful
and may lead to feelings of anxiety and depression.
