Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Kansas
I was involved in a civil case in the state of Kansas in which a debt collection agency, represented by a local law office, was suing and pursuing a judgment on the debt. This matter was to appear in court on July 3rd. I worked out a one-time payment settlement for about 85% of the amount with the law office to get the case dismissed. It was agreed that if that if this amount was paid, the case would be dismissed and the debt settled.
This was paid on July 1st, and the law office changed the case from pending to terminated (dismissed) that same day. Also on that same day, on the court records, is a CANCELLED AD on 7/3 DUE TO CASE TERMINATION and a file stamp on 7/1 of an order of dismissal without prejudice.
My problem, is that on July 3rd, the Judge approved a judgment for the debt, post interest, and costs despite the case being dismissed and the order of dismissal.
I need to know where to go now. I have my hunch, albeit whatever's that worth, that may have been due to simple negligence with the sheer volume of similar cases before the court that day. But I need this resolved and that judgment reversed and removed. Where and how do I proceed?

The simplest way is to hire an attorney to handle this matter for you. Short of that, you can file a motion to set aside the judgment. You might ask the Plaintiff's law office t to file it.
Good luck
