Update: I actually have two judgements on my report .Did not mention it because I thought the advice o get here will apply to both. But of course it's not that simple. I talked to a law firm about one of the judgements and them agreed to vacate upon payment. I am waiting on letter from them with that agreement.
On the other judgement I contacted the firm and they said they have closed the file/case? And I would have to deal with the collection agency. The actual attorney who filed the judgement against me is no longer at the firm. I am hoping I can get more advice here before contacting the CA.
I have been looking for a local attorney that handle this kind of case just to go get some paid advice from a expert but haven't had much luck.
Thanks
I personally would contact the CA and ask if they have new council because their former council claims they closed the file and was told by them to contact the CA. Which is not uncommon.
You can't make things worse by contacting them. As they already have a judgement.
I would pay the judgement, get proof that it was settled/paid. Wait until the court updates to satisfied. Then file a motion to vacate, you will have to notify the CA in writing. Show up for the motion hearing. The CA most likely won't bother spending the money to show up because they got their money. In which case will most likely be vacated. If they do show up just explain to the court the importance to move on in life is to beg the court to vacate as its paid.
Disclaimer: Every state has different rules and laws regarding vacating judgements. I'm not promising this will work or that your state will even grant a motion.
Keep us updated.
