I have judgment for 1400 on credit report. This amount was discharged in BK13 but my atty failed to make a motion to have it dismissed when at my hearing and hence, it remains on on my credit report.
To get it satisfied, I apparently need to pay 1400 plus atty fees and interest from 2000. One person who considers himself an expert said that after seven years, this will fall off my credit report but I feel that now that my life has resumed normalcy (had divorce and medical emergency in one year span in 1999), I want to just pay the sum off.
Does anyone think that I should ignore it as the person suggested I do or should I pay this. My original BK atty wanted to take them to court but his atty fees would have amounted to what I owe for the judgment and it was noted by the woman I spoke with that my atty's failure to "make a motion to dismiss it," allowed the dismissal of the amount in BK 13 (it shows as satisfied on my BK papers, to remain valid. The dept store is who I owe, and they hired an credit agency's atty to get this amount satisfied.
This has been a thorn in my side...
