Satisfied Judgment
I had a judgment filed against me in March of 2003. I paid off the judgment in November of 2003. I have copies of my canceled checks. I have the billing statement showing a zero balance and the collection agency receipt. I sent him a check for the full amount of the judgment. He returned my check saying the balance was paid and I didn't owe any money. I have kept records of the dates and times I called, who I spoke with and the result of the conversation. I have asked the dentist at least once a year since 2004 to show the judgment as satisfied. I have been turned down for credit twice because of him. Now I am paying a � percent higher interest rate on a $200,000 house, because the judgment still shows. Providing the lender will even approve the mortgage. Can I sue for damages?
Non-Compete
I've worked for a national test prep chain for one year at $12/hr. Another national test prep chain wants to hire me at double that rate. Apparently I signed a 3-year non-compete agreement when hired a year ago. Am I stuck in this job? How do I get out? This is in NJ.
