Putting Eviction Award to landlord on Credit Score sites

[Toks Akindele]

Hello there, has anybody done this before. If you evict a tenant and the courts gave you back possession and also awarded you the financial judgement you had asked for (unpaid rent and paid fees) which the tenant can't or won't obviously pay you back, does anybody know what steps you need to follow to put that legal judgement on Credit sites like TransUnion and Experian as a last resort to force the tenant to pay you. That is, if you can get it on their credit profile, it depresses their credit score until they pay to remove it.

I’ve had similar situation twice 

First time I contacted the sheriffs dept. they garnished his wages and paid me 

The other time years later they went to get a mortgage and had to pay me off including interest and penalties before they could get the loan as the judgement appeared on their credit report
