I contacted the law first that sent it to the court offices and they said there was absolutly nothing they could do. Really not sure what more to do with this? I would love to just pay it off but its a 18K worth of student loans... 
( I've been paying it for a year through work garnishments....
Originated @ a College > Sent to Law firm > sent to County Clerk office
Any other suggestions or options? This is probably the single biggest thing hurting my credit.

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but your chances if making this judgment disappear off your credit reports are pretty much zero.
There is only one entity who can vacate this judgment and this is the court. There are two ways that you could get a court to vacate a judgment and one is by filing a motion yourself showing where the judgment was improperly obtained -- usually by defective service. Since you have not mentioned anything about not being aware of the fact that you were being sued way back when, I seriously doubt you would prevail.
The second way involves, basically, getting the judgment creditor to ask the court to vacate the judgment. The judgment creditor would have to be brain dead to agree to do this as then they have no way to force you to pay. In fact, from what you've mentioned, the judgment creditor already told you to, although in a rather polite way, to forget about it.
Once the debt is paid, perhaps, but not a sure thing, the judgment creditor would be willing to help. For now, just worry about getting it paid off and saving yourself interest.
