How long is an unpaid eviction on any credit reports
8 years ago I was a co-signer on an apartment with my boyfriend. I was just about 18 or 19 yrs old. We got evicted and after establishing a residence we contacted our former landlord and started making monthly payments but never finished paying the total amount due. We never heard anything from them, nothing by the courts or collection agencies! I'm going to be looking to rent an apartment this year, I know that in the state of California they do credit as well as tenant checks on applicants. My question is, how long will that eviction be on any of my reports? Is there a way to get it off without having to pay the money?
