How do you get a judgment satisfied?

A judgment can get satisfied by a wage garnishment. A judgment can also be satisfied by a levy of property. An attorney can help you file the proper paperwork.


What does it mean to have a satisfied judgment on your credit report?

It means that a person or company got a court order or some other legal order directing you to pay. That is the judgment. Satisfying the judgment means that you have met all conditions of the judgment and it is no longer operative. For example, you were sued and lost, and a judge ordered you to pay x dollars for x years. When it's all paid, you have satisfied the judgment.


Can a Credit Card Collection Agency put a lien or judgment on your credit and if so what does that mean?

If the collection agency works in tandem with a law firm (which is the case most of the time) then the answer is yes. What does this mean? If a judgment is granted by a judge, then it is the age old saying, pay me now or pay me later. Anytime your credit is ran (over the next 20 years) then it will show and credit will not be granted until the judgment is satisfied. Keep in mind if a judgment is granted interest probably continues to accrue until satisfied. If at all possible, it is best to inter into a stipulation agreement with the firm and work it out.

Can a judgment be settled by going to the courthouse and making payment for the judgment amount?

Yes. Then get a letter stating the debt was satisfied and photocopy it. Get a report from each reporting agency, dispute it saying it should say "satisfied"...attach a copy of the letter from court to your dispute letter. Attach the page of your report (photocopy) and highlight the item disputing. Include the case/account number in your dispute.
