Legal Question in Disability Law in Virginia
I had a warrant in debt filed on me. I went to court and fought it. I lost the appeal, and paid the amount in full plus fee's 2 days after court. I have just found out that a judgement was filed and has not been marked as satisfied or removed. Was it legal for a judgement to be filed and what can be done about getting it satisfied and taken off report. Where this was not taken care of in a timely manner (marked satisfied or removed) do I have a suit against them in the Fair Credit Reporting Act?

Yes, it was undoubtedly "legal" for a judgment to be recorded in your case,
but if you paid it, you should make a demand that your judgment creditor file the
appropriate release of the judgment with the court in which it was recorded.
And, if for some reason the creditor fails to act on your demand, you could ask the clerk's office to then schedule a hearing on the matter and have the court
order the release (after you've presented, of course, credible proof that the judgment has been satisfied).
