How to get collection judgment on tenant's credit report

Hello! Can anyone give me some advice on reporting to a tenant's credit report? I already have a collection judgment (tenant already evicted and wage garnishmet in process), which I thought would automatically be placed on the evicted tenant's credit report. I just checked and it is not listed on there. What do I have to do to get this eviction/coeection judgment on the evicted tenant's credit report? Thanks!

It is usually best to be sure that the debtors social security number is on the recorded judgement to insure that it gets picked up by the credit bureaus.

Thank you! I also navigated the Tenant Screening site of RHOL more and found out that they provide this service. So I followed the steps indicated and hopefully it'll take a little time to set it up with the credit bureaus. That saves a load off my mind....

How were you able to get the wage garnishment? The rental property is in Texas and I have the eviction judgement, but no way to collect as the tenant has no real property on which to place a lien.

A wage garnishment has nothing to do with property owned, but only requires that they have a job. If the person is self-employed, you need take other approaches. Also, if you have a judgment, it should have been picked up by the credit bureaus and you may get paid someday when a lender or other grantor of credit requires payment of the judgment before granting credit.
