Dispute a paid Judgement?

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone i have a quick question....i satisfied(paid) a judgement last year 8/08 but its still not reflecting that on my CR.....can i dispute it? and if so how will disputing it affect my credit score positive or negative? Thank You for your insight.

Judgements will still be reported after they are paid.  Does it show the updated balance as $0

Its not showin anything saying that it has been paid(satisfied) and its been paid since 8/08

I would contact the OC or whoever got the judgement against you and see if they have filed the satisfaction with the courts.

I had one like that. I went to the courthouse and they gave me a letter to send to the CRA's. It worked..they changed it immediately to paid.

I have the proof it was PIF i didnt know I could go to the courthouse with that info!...and u said they gave u a letter to send to the CRA?...how long before they updated it to paid?

No matter what you send to the CRA, it will still undergo an "Investigation".

However, before you do anything with the CRA, you need to make sure it is reported as paid/satisfied with the courthouse or it won't get changed with the CRA.

I didn't have proof that it was paid, I just knew i had paid it. I called the courthouse and they looked it up. They told me to come and get a letter and send it to the CRA's. I did, and they updated it. I'm sure they verified it with the courthouse first, but it was maybe a couple of weeks before I got the letter back saying they had updated it. The letter actually directs the CRA's to REMOVE the entry, but only Experian did it. TU and EQ won't do it...but I keep sending them letters asking them to just in case one day they do it. Good luck with yours!
