Maybe posting here instead will work - judgment score question

[mauve]

I apparently have 2 judgments - one filed 5/7 and one filed 9/6.  If I were to satisfy these with the OCs (the 5/7 one has a CA reporting) and get a satisfaction of judgment to get them satisfied, how long would my score suffer from new activity? 

Also: I am PFDing some other CA issues.  If this is unsuccessful, how long will my score suffer from the new activity of paying them?  I know there's a weighting to credit info from the prior 2 years...is that how long these look new again if I pay them? 

Thanks!

You're looking at  7 years minimum.  I would suggest you take a different route and approach the people that are actually trying to collect the debt at this point.

I don't think the judgments reporting as satisfied will help or hurt your score at all.  It would help with a creditor who conducts a manual review in deciding whether or not to grant you credit, though.
