If there's a judgment against you -- which I presume there is -- simple interest accumulates at 10 percent per year. In addition, the landlord's attorneys probably asked the court for attorney's fees and the costs of the unlawful detainer lawsuit. I doubt that the credit reporting agencies will remove the item because a judgment probably exists. You might want to try to negotiate payment of the principal amount, or take other measures to manage or eliminate your debts.
