Hello All
I had a judgment that I needed to satisfy as a condition of trying to acheive a mortgage. Even though I had been making payments for years, they wanted it paid off before mortgage pre-approval could happen. So i decided to contact them and they agreed to settle a $5100 balance for $1000. I was super stoked. I just received the satisfaction letter in the mail. With the satisfaction letter I found another letter with this:
NOW COMES the Judgment Creditor, and through undersigned counsel, hereby states that this
matter is dismissed without prejudice. The Judgment Creditor and Judgment Debtor have come
to terms for a settlement, and the Judgment Debtor has paid the agreed upon amount.
I am hoping this means what I think it means. I aked them about vacating the judgment after I paid it, but they said they cant do it. This letter makes it seems like they filed a motion to dismiss.
If this is true, does anyone know how long it takes for the court to enter these motions normally? Is this something I could now dispute with all the bureaus and attach this. I am thinking if I do, I should still wait for the courts to update? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
