What is court judgement removal?

Court judgement removal is the process of clearing a court judgement from your credit report. This judgement, often related to debt recovery, personal injury claims, or contract disputes, becomes a public record and appears on your credit report. Its presence can significantly lower your credit score and affect your financial standing. Removing the judgement helps restore your credit profile and improve your creditworthiness.

In Australia, judgements can be removed for several reasons. They may contain errors that can be disputed, or they might have been issued in error. Additionally, Australian laws allow for the removal of judgements after a certain period or if the judgement has been satisfied or set aside. By addressing these issues, you can have the judgement removed, enhancing your credit profile and financial standing.

Court Judgement Removal Process

1. Assessment and Verification

The first step involves assessing the details of the court judgement and verifying its accuracy. This may include reviewing court documents and credit reports to ensure that all information is correct.

2. Dispute Process

If a judgement is found to be incorrect or unjust, we dispute it with the credit reporting agencies by presenting evidence for removal, and legal action may be required in some cases. If the judgement is valid, we can negotiate with the plaintiff to arrange payment and seek their consent to set it aside. We handle all necessary consent orders for court filing, and once set aside, the judgement can be removed from the credit report.

3. Follow-Up and Monitoring:

Once the judgement is disputed or removed, ongoing monitoring is essential to ensure that it does not reappear on your credit report. Regular updates and reviews help maintain a clean credit profile.
