I Can’t Get No Satisfaction!

By Law Office of Abel L. Pierre, Attorney at Law, P.C.

Imagine that like many Americans you have a credit card judgment issued against you in civil court. You scrape up the money and finally pay off the judgment.

A few years later you check your credit and realize that the judgment is being reported as not satisfied. You figure it is just an honest oversight and you send the credit reporting agency a letter stating that the judgment was in fact satisfied, and politely ask them to update their records.

You send your letter to Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union. Nothing happens. You then send several follow up letters with no response. Such was the fate of a recent client for which the Law Office of Abel L. Pierre, Attorney at Law, P.C. recently recovered money damages.

When this client discovered the error on her credit report, she sent several letters disputing the mistake as required by the fair credit reporting act. Like millions of other Americans the credit reporting agencies simply ignored her.
