Re: satisfaction of judgement
Contact the court and find out why a hearing is necessary. Was the satisfaction of judgment signed by the plaintiff or their attorney, as they are the ones that have to release you from the judgment. Get their signatures and then either resubmit to the court, or call the court and find out why a hearing is necessary. Your receipts, etc. should be enough evidence, however, the judge will definitely want to confirm the payment with the plaintiff/plaintiff's lawyer, who should also receive notice of the hearing.
