What are my options apart from bankruptcy to get rid of an old judgment?
There are 2 options you have
There are 2 options you have to get rid of a judgment rather than choosing bankruptcy. They are:
1) Vacate the judgment - Vacating a judgment means declaring the judgment as "VOID". You can get this done by filing a motion or an appeal to the court to vacate the judgment.
2) satisfy the judgment - It means doing a settlement and has the judgment creditor file a “Satisfaction of Judgment” with the court. You may need to consult a professional attorney and get the help needed. Make sure you are not making any payment without having a clear WRITTEN agreement.
Hope that helps!
