why would a lost lawsuit for eviction/non payment of rent be on my credit report but not public records?
hturn78 asked:
i’m a bit confused. 2 years ago, i was sued for eviction/non payment of rent but decided not to go to my court date to plead my side, so it was an automatic judgement for my landlord/property mgmt company and i had the time allowed by law to vacate the property. i have never paid them a penny and now it’s on my credit report under mortgage accounts with the account number field XXXX and really looks like a credit card type entry…BUT i have nothing in my public records and i’ve searched the case database in the county where it was for my name, SS#, DL#, everything and nothing comes up under me.
Does anyone have a clue to why this is? And please don’t lecture me on being sued and not paying them…I’m not making any excuses for the situation and I have made the changes in my life needed now to look at it and be ashamed of myself.
