Not sure if you have a judgement issued by the court, if that's the case the judgement will be picked up by the credit agencies.

If you are sending the tenant a bill for what you feel the tenant owes and do not have a court judgement, then there are penalties for sending the ex-tenant/debtor a letter stating that they will be sent to collections or that their credit may be affected without telling the ex-tenant/debtor that the fact that the “debt is disputed” will be disclosed to the collection agency or credit reporting agency triggers a penalty of up to $1000.00 per occurrence.
