Court Judgement Fell off CR for no reason?

[Anonymous]

I had a court judgement suddenly just fall of my CR. It's only a few years old, I haven't paid on it or even talked to the company about it, nothing new popped up anywhere else on my CR, and there is no new documentation in the court record.

Any thoughts as to why it would just randomly drop off?

Judgments find their way into your credit file by way of public records searches commissioned by the CRAs.

Some are more comprehensive than others.

When they were doing routine update searches, the person doing the search may have had a hangover, and missed the record.
