Denita Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Did you record the release in your county where the judgement was placed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acres90 Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 i recieved it about 2 years ago. what do i do now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denita Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Assuming the release is notarized, go record it first. Then dispute with the CRA's again. You may get it deleted at that point because it is not reporting accurately (it is satisfied and you said they are showing it for the full amount). Sometimes it is easier for the CRA's to delete then update the info. If that does not work, may someone else here knows what to do next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acres90 Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 do i file it in the county where i live or where it was filed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morganna Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Have you researched with the courts to see if anything is/was recorded?If the judgement was recorded in the first place the atty would have filed the release as well ... Who is the judgement holder (showing on your CR)? The data furnisher should only report accurate info so a letter to them may be a place to start. Was the info updated after your dispute with the CB?Thats where *I* would start .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically, cases of this nature are filed in the county court, check your judgement. Once you file the vacate judgement form, the courts will update their records to show paid within 30-45 days. Finally, dispute the information with the credit bureaus, and they will delete the item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unusualsuspect Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 The OP must go get the release of judgment form filed with the court. This will close out the case.Then re-dispute the judgment showing on the credit report. It will either fall off or show as being "satisfied."
