How do I pay off a judgement?

You will need to satisfy that judgment before you can get financing so you will need to pay the amount and then ask for a letter of satisfaction. You can reach me at 678-571-7433 if you have any other questions.

Your lender should be able to tell you exactly what is necessary and what is acceptable proof of the judgment being satisfied.. but typically, you make payment, and the creditor has to file a "satisfaction of judgment" with the county recorder, and the lender will want a copy of that recorded document. It's possible they might accept a letter, but I doubt it.. If the judgment is not released, then the lenders first lien position would be in jeopardy, so it's unlikely they would accept anything other than a satisfaction of judgment..

You should work with a mortgage broker that is licensed in the state of Georgia that can contact several of his lenders and find out exactly what the lender will need. Every lender could have slightly different documentation that they will require. It is good timing that you are thinking about this now as you go to pay it off so you can make sure it is done the way a lender that a local lender will use.
