When you obtain a copy of your credit report, look on the back of it where instructions tell you how to submit a dispute. When you mail it back to them, they will investigate it and send you a written response. If you don't know how to get a copy of your credit report, apply for credit somewhere and when they turn you down you can mail that letter to the credit reporting agencies and they will send you a free copy of your report by mail.
I'd suggest disputing with the bureaus and saying "No judgment or settlement. Amount owed ZERO as per letter" Include the letter.
There is no statute of limitations in disputing information on your credit report. If it is being reported, it can be disputed. Simple enough! ;o)
No, it is illegal, and if you are a victim of this, you can have it removed from your credit report by disputing it with the bureaus. After the statute of limitations is up on any trade line, it can not be placed back on your credit report.
When disputing information on your credit report for the first time, the disputed information is not calculated into your score during the investigaion. If information is disupte for the second time or so on, it will then be calculated into your score, as it has been found to be correct after the first investigation.
No, only making a payment, promising to make a payment, or providing a letter of reaffirmation of the debt can reset the statue of limitations.

You can have a credit dispute, if the agency reporting the bad judgment does not get back with the company disputing the judgment within 30 days, it HAS to be removed from your credit report. Example: I filed bankruptcy(?) on a auto repo. and the company did not take it off my credit report, I had my credit card company do a credit dispute, they did not respond within 30 days, and it was removed from my credit report.

By disputing negative or errorenous information on your credit report. You can do it yourself or hire a reputable credit repair firm.
You can submit a copy of the satisfaction of judgment to the credit bureaus that this will improve your credit rating somewhat. The best thing to do is to ask the judgment creditor to stipulate to set aside the judgment and dismiss the case. You would need to send a copy of the order setting aside the judgment to the credit bureaus. You can try disputing the entry, but the existence of the judgment is a matter of public record.
An outstanding judgment is a court order that gives a creditor the legal right to collect from a debtor. As court judgments are a matter of public record, a creditor can report the judgment on the debtor's credit reports. An example of a judgment placed on a credit report would be a judgment for eviction. This judgment will remain on the credit report for seven years from the filing date.
simply obtain a copy of your credit report, circle the debts that you are disputing and mail them a letter stating that you are disputing the circled debts because the seven year time limit has expired. The Identity Guard service includes a credit report from all three credit bureaus and also includes sample credit dispute letters that are very helpful for situations like yours. You can get this at www.creditscorehero.com . Good luck
No. It will show that you had a judgment on your credit report for up to seven years, but it will show a zero balance.
If the judgment names only one spouse as the judgment debtor it will not be entered on the non judgment spouse's credit report.
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.
Generally, yes
