By "not yours" I assume the debt or whatever wasn't charged by you, or whatever...if you didn't file an answer to the initial lawsuit you are screwed unless you can prove fraud to the person that filed the suit...if you can, then they can probably have the judgment released, or dismiss the case without prejudice.
If a judgment goes in the bankruptcy, it can be removed. The person who the judgment was for, has the right to request that it still be paid. In most Chapter 7 situations, the judge will decide in favor of the debtor.
You can't. The fact that you have a judgment will stay with for years
A release of judgment is like a pardon. It means that the court's decision has been discarded or removed.
The judgment would of come through the court system. You would need to contact the court to know who to pay. You can dispute the listing to the credit bureaus, but that doesn't mean it will be removed. They have 30 days to verify the listing and if it isn't verified it must be removed.
Yes...once it is paid.
if the receiving parent files a satisfaction of judgment with the courts the past due child support would no longer be owed.
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.
There is no statute of limitations on a judgment. The only way a judgment can be satisfied is to pay the debt and then it will be removed from your credit report.
yes
No that is not necessary. They can be charged on the vehicle.
