In view of a pending lawsuit (Jenkins v Equifax, U.S. District Court, E.D., Va), the procedure for verification of accuracy of posted judgments has come under review by the courts.
As an interim attempt to resolve the issue, a consent agreement has been entered into that has resulted in each of the big-3 CRAs reevaluating its procedure for determining the accuracy of judgments it posts to their credit reports. More specifically, if a judgment does not include the consumer's name, address, and either a date of birth or social security number, the CRAs are in the process of removing such judgments from their files as being inadequate identification of being related to the named consumer.
I would wait until the CRAs have completed their internal reviews, which is expected by July 1.
They may or may not be removed by the CRAs based on completion of their review.
If they do not remove on their own, you can still pursue a dispute of judgment, but you wlll have the burden in any such dispute of showing some documentation that the judgment is not yours. I see nothing in the post to suggest that you contest the judgment is not yours, so I would suggest waiting for the CRA to possibly do their own removal.
