If the judgment is accurate: Locate the jurisdiction (the county courthouse) it was filed in. Pay the balance, or show proof of payment. The court clerks should be able to advise you on the procedure to obtain a "Satisfaction of Judgment" which is the proper legal disposition for a judgment. After you have obtained a satisfaction, have that document recorded. Send a certified copy of the satisfaction to any credit bureau showing the judgment. If the judgment is not accurate: Order your credit report from all three credit reporting agencies. Once you have a report, follow the procedure listed in that report to dispute the inaccurate information. I don't have an answer but rather another question.

Your question concerns two separate issues. A judgment is a legal action that is shown in the "public records" portion of your credit. Any legal item needs its' proper disposition.

To obtain a satisfaction, the consumer would need to contact the courthouse (same jurisdiction) where the judgment was filed, show proof of payment and follow whatever legal procedure needed. The consumer would then need to have this satisfaction recorded. It is also a good idea to forward a recorded copy to the credit bureaus. An open debt in the tradelines, need to be updated to its' paid status, separate from the judgment.
Who files the release of judgment?
Normally, when a judgment is paid in full, the judgment creditor gives the debtor the release of judgement (sometimes called a warrant of satisfaction). It is then up to the debtor to file or record it because he/she wants to make sure the lien is removed.
