If my landlord was granted a judgement lien against me, will it be on my criminal history record?
My former landlord filed an eviction against me but I did not receive or sign for any notice. This was in 2004. In fact I was not aware of any court proceedings until recently when I requested a report and saw a civil /lein on my credit report. Will this also come up as a criminal record? I am seeking employment.

An eviction and judgment lien against you is a civil case and will not be listed as a criminal record.
