Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Massachusetts

Perhaps, if the landlord has not reported the judgment as having been satisfied to the Court. However, this may be a record-keeping error on the part of the Court and not your landlord. My guess is that the landlord did not actively report this item to the credit reporting bureaus and you will need to challenge the incorrect item on your credit report.

Schedule a consultation and bring your paperwork to figure out what you will need to do next.

You need to determine who filed the report. I would suggest you get a copy of the dismissal of the complaint and send it to the credit reporting agencies with a statement that the record is inaccurate. If the landlord filed the information, then you should send a demand letter under 93A and Fair Credit Collection Practices Act and demand the reports removal.

Good Luck.
