I had a Judgement filed against me 1/2003. I never was served or showed up for court. I contacted the court and they said I have no obligation to this judgement. When I look up the judgement it says I owe $0. On my credit report the judgement say the claim amount is 583. The judgement is set to fall off Jan 2010. I want to make sure this falls off my credit report...I have had problems because of it. What should I do to make sure...100% this will fall off.
Thanks
Chris

Hi chris,

Welcome to the Forum Smile

You can contact the court, and request them to give something in writing that proves the judgment has $0 balance. You can then dispute with the credit bureaus. You will have to send a "Dispute Letter" via certified mail, with a return receipt requested. You must enclose a copy of the document from the court. You can also attach a copy of the credit report, encircling the negative item you are disputing. You will find a sample "Dispute Letter" in the Letters of Credit section
