How do I dispute a judgment on my credit report?

Is there a simple way to dispute a judgment on my credit report? There’s an item on my credit that I think was marked incorrectly and it’s really bringing down my score. I would love to fix this issue as soon as possible!

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having issues with this! To dispute a judgment on your credit report, you’ll need to request court information about your credit report and look for inaccuracies. Then, appeal these inaccuracies with the court by filing a motion to vacate the judgment.
To be successful in your dispute, you’ll need to be able to prove that there was an error on your original report. If you’re concerned that your appeal might not succeed, consider hiring a professional to help you out.
To offset some of your legal fees, try finding a lower car insurance rate with the
