are you talking about a new judgment? If so, a lot.

[mardeeloftus]

what if the judgment is 5 years old and it shows settled in nov 2007 although it was paid in full 5 years ago? How much will the score increase if it shows settled now versus showing it was settled in 2002? Is it worth the fight to have them update the correct date it was settled?

I would try disputing it. I disputed mine and it came right off. I figure the courts around here are probably pretty busy this time of year and didn't have time to respond or something.

I don't recommend disputing something that is yours as not mine.
