Paying off a judgment

I have 2 medical judgments from 2010 that I want to pay next month. The address on my credit report is the address of the courthouse. Do I send my payment to the court? Or do I have to find out the contact information of the original creditor?

Re: Paying off a judgment

No, you will not send your payments to the courts, you will need to send them to whoever won the judgement against you.  You could contact the court for that information, and while talking to them, ask them their policy on vacating/setting aside paid judgements and see about getting that removed.
