Q: What can I do about past judgements that date form late 90's to 2016 in the states of Nebraska and Kansas?
These judgements I never knew existed until I applied for an FHA loan. The oldest released in '98 and only has my SS# on it with my brother's name and his wife. Other judgements I can't make heads and tails out of. Would these fall under statute of limitations and how can I remove them from my public records? Another judgement being from a bank in '99 I had been banking with since '93 to 2010. I recall no issues with them the entire time I banked with them.
A: It depends on what you mean by judgments. Are these court case judgments? If so, you may need to review the court file(s) to see what you could do to challenge them at this time. Are these on your credit report? Sometimes things get improperly reported and you can send in proof to the credit agency to correct your credit report.
