susan368 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Can a judgement be removed after full payment is made? I just called the courthouse and they said no, it will stay as a satisfied judgement. How can it get removed? Has the plaintiff's attorney the power to have it removed?

direred Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 It really depends on the state. Some states effectively null the judgment after it's satisfied.I've never been in the position of dealing with money judgments, so I'll take a stab at it, but I might be wrong.Assuming we're talking California (since that's your given location), it really looks as though satisfaction of judgment is the only method.

cracrap Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 cali only records judgements as satisfied or unpaid...even if you paid the court directly after your case was heard it wouldnt matter as far as the cra's are concernedits a matter of public records which you cant dispute...its wrong and it shouldnt be that way but it is...ive had to deal with it for myself and for others...

cracrap Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 if this was in superior court,, youll be the one to notify the court of payment ..in small claims ,theyre supposed to but usually dont and according to the clerk of the court there is no penalty for them not fulfilling their obligation to report it as being paid..regardless of what the r of c.p. saysi know this because ive had to go through the same thing in small claims and in superior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
