"You want to remove some judgments from your credit bureau report? Well, first you need to consider, have you actually payed the judgments or not, because this will change how you need to make a request to your creditors. First, if you have paid the judgments off, then you simply need to request your creditor remove the information, or at least update the information to show that it has been paid off. And if they choose not to do so, you just need to contact the credit bureau reporting agency that has the information, and tell them that the creditor is not being cooperative, and find out what they say that you should do. Then next, if you have not paid the judgments off yet, then you may want to consider talking to the creditors and seeing if they will consider removing the old information, and putting out the new information that does reflect the payments that have been made on the judgment and where you're at, and that you're making timely payments at this point and time. If they choose not to do that, again, contact the credit bureau reporting agency, and find out what they suggest."
