I killed my credit in college with creditcards and have a lot of bads on my report. I pulled up my free report and see a small claims judgement for $4000.00 which I paid. I dispute to reporting agency to show its paid but dispute came back as unchanged. Shall I dispute again? No way I can show proof of paying because this from years ago 1999. It should say I paid it on report, no? and currently the judgement is not showing as paid or unpaid. Should it be reporting one of these status? I think and unpaid judgement is worse than a paid. I will contact court tomorrow and duke it out with them.
That would probably be the next logical step, to have the reporting entity, the court, correct the report.
