Yes, and if the judgement was against the employer, send it Registered Mail with a Return Receipt requested. It might even be a better idea to hire a process server for a small cost just to make sure the serivce is 'on record.'
Yes they do send a copy to the state.
IRS
Yes. It's legal everywhere to do that.
They already have a copy (they get sent one too). The information goes on your return.
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.
When asked to send back a signed copy of a contract, the sender is asking the recipient to return documents that provide legal proof of an agreement of terms and conditions.
Yes, the judgment will show on your credit report. Any legal action normally reflected on a credit report (judgments, tax liens, foreclosures and bankruptcies) is granted by a judge. Being a legal action, it must have a disposition. In the case of a judgment, the disposition is called a "satisfaction of judgment". Take proof of your payment to the courthouse and inquire what procedures are needed to obtain a satisfaction. Be sure that you have the disposition recorded. This is usually a small fee and is well worth the money. I also suggest you follow up with all three credit bureaus. Get a copy of your raw credit data from all bureaus. If they list your judgment, send a copy of the satisfaction.
No, paid off or not. It'll stay for the 7 yrs. What will change is it will say judgement, paid. It will still has a negative effect though. The status of a judgment is not irrelevant. What is important is whether or not the legal disposition is recorded. In the case of a judgment, the disposition is a "satisfaction of judgment". You could have the status changed to not-satisfied, or not-paid (in full). This would be a waste of time and effort. When your judgment is paid in full, be sure to get a satisfaction from a judge, pay to have this legal disposition recorded and send a copy of it to all three credit bureaus.
Of course your employer can send you home for being late.
If the debt that you were sued over, or the judgment itself was included in your bankruptcy, you only need send a copy of your bankruptcy papers to the credit reporting agencies. The judgment will not "come off", but it should get marked "included in bankruptcy" or "discharged through bankruptcy".
An employer may do any number of things, but that does not mean its legal, ethical, or allowed by the state's unemployment office. When you file your claim, the investigator will check out your story with the employer and vice versa to determine the truth of the matter.
Form W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement) is a six-part form. Each copy identifies the copy number and to whom the employer needs to send each copy. At least three copies are provided to the employee. Copy B is labelled as "To Be Filed With Employee's FEDERAL Tax Return." Copy C is identified as "For EMPLOYEE'S RECORDS." Copy 2 is identified as "To Be Filed With Employee's State, City, or Local Income Tax Return."
