I hired Lexington Law to help me with deleting some negative information about two weeks ago. Since I leave in Maryland I don't get charged until 60 days. I just refreshed my credit report and noticed by Transunion report was clear of two judgements that I tried to so hard to remove myself. I now have no judgements on my Transunion report. I am eager to see how much points I will gain from that.
Remember to check your public records on the Clerk of Courts website to see if the judgments are reporting correctly there - either a recorded Satisfaction if paid, or not if still unpaid. If they remain unpaid you will still need to either pay them or have it vacated or otherwise removed. A judgment lien can attach to your property if it is unpaid. In Maryland a judgment lien lasts for 12 years. Removing it from the CR is just step one.

Here is a small quote from the above link:
Where can I look up Maryland law on judgment liens?
If you want to go right to the source and look up Maryland laws on judgment liens -- maybe you're a party to a judgment, or you're just researching potential encumbrances on property -- the relevant statute(s) can be found at Md. Code Ann. [Cts. & Jud. Proc.] section 11-402; Md. Ct. Rule 2-621, 2-625, 3-621, 3-622, 3-625. For tips on looking up Maryland state laws, check out Nolo's Laws and Legal Research section.
