Judgements aren't removed from credit reports until after 7 yrs.

you can write a letter to the company, collectors, and the credit agencies requesting it be removed even if it isn't out dated some agencies just want their money in some cases they will remove them if asked but make sure you check with all three agencies after you receive a notice of deletions it may be gone at 1 agency and not the others so its a good idea to check with all three

According to Trans Union the Fair Credit Reporting Act allows a civil judgment, whether paid or unpaid, to be reported for seven years from the date the judgment was entered, depending on your state of residence.

The credit bureaus or the court that filed the judgment can remove it. So it can be removed by either disputing it and it not being verified or by negotiating the removal in court.
