I had been served a paper from the court for a judgment in the amnt of 375. I then called the company filing the judgement and they said that they would not continue to file if I paid the court on a weekly basis. SO, I paid the court in full, actually, I overpaid by 26 dollars, and they sent me a refund, however, on my report, it shows as a judgment filed, and it doesn't say paid, satisfied or anything. Do I need to write a letter to the court, the company, or just file a dispute on the credit report. I was told this would NOT go on my report, and it is there, and it is not showing the correct status. Please let me know how I can get this corrected. I appreciate anyone's opinion.

Contact your court clerk, inform them that the judgement has been satisfied, and they need to both record and report it as such.
Once it is properly recorded, if they do not report it the credit reporting agency, then you need to dispute it as such to the appropriate company.

Get a copy of court file so you know what you are dealing with. Dispute with credit bureau as incorrect status.Dispute with judgement debtor to tell them to report correctly.

I would do both, get a copy and send it yourself along with a dispute letter and have the clerk of courts file it. Never hurts to over due it.

Just a suspicion...If the debt is actually owed to the court system (traffic citation, public defender fees, probation fees, criminal fines, etc...), if a judgement appears on the CR, it is at the behest of the administrative office of the court, as a form of leverage to compel payment (such as supsension of DL). This is likely to be the case whether or not a CA is contracted by the court. Quite sure of this in California, anyway.
