Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania
judgement removal
I had a judgement put against me for $1500. I have paid the judgement in full. How do I have this removed? Do I need to go somewhere in the courthouse or do I need an attorney to do this for me?

Re: judgement removal
You asked about having a judgment removed from your record.
It depends on from what record you want the judgment removed. When a judgment is satisfied the judgment creditor is required by law to file a satisfaction of judgment with the court. You could remind the creditor of this.
If you are suggesting that you want the record removed from records other than at the court then that will take some effort. You will need to ask each consumer reporting agency to remove or update the record individually. You would probably need to provide a copy of the file-stamped satisfaction of judgment to have the record updated.
