How to get a satisfaction of judgement filed?

I was sued by my landlord and she took me to court 6 years ago. I lost but paid the judgement in full right away. She never filed a satisfaction of judgement so on my credit report for the last 6 years shows that it was unsatisfied. When I called her and asked her to do it she said she was too busy. Is there anything I can do?

What she said was surely unreasonable an upsetting I am sure.  But you need to take a deep breath and step back.  You can get a form known as a "Satisfaction of Judgement" and fill it out yourself and sen it to her to execute and then you yourself can file it with the county clerk and send the credit agencies a copy.  I would consider asking an attorney to do this for you on a flat fee basis.  She may not be "too busy" to respond the him or her.  Good luck.
