Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Minnesota

We recently went to conciliation a court in Minnesota. They ruled we pay half which was $1078 we immediately mailed a personal check to plaintiff certified so he had to sign for it. We recieved the notice he did sign for it but he won't cash the check and he won't sign any satisfaction of judgement. Our credit is excellent and we don't want it damaged which is exactly what he's trying to do. What can we do?

If the judgment was just entered, and it wasn't 100% in plaintiff's favor, then perhaps they are considering appealing to district court. If the time to appeal has passed, however, and they are refusing to give a satisfaction of judgment, then you should consider taking legal action. The first step would be a demand letter from an attorney. If they do not respond, you would then have to make a motion before a district court judge to order them to sign a satisfaction.
