Re: court order reduces fees to judgement

Thank you for your question. You could be cited for contempt of court if you fail to pay and if found guilty put in jail until it gets paid. Any judgment can find its way into a credit report. How it might affect you credit will depend on the tests applied by the persons from whom you seek credit.
