If you can pay it off, look at the lien document for the law firm handling it and call them or go to their office. They will want cash or certified funds or you will have to wait until your personal check clears for your notice of judgment satisfied. Make sure you get it or that it is recorded in the registry of deeds.

I’m assuming you want advice on what steps to take. First, get everything in writing from Capitol One and/or the lienholder and/or filer of the lien (law firm, etc.). The main thing is to get them to agree that they will remove the lien and any negative notations in your credit report if you pay it off. Once you have that in hand, go for it. Pay it off, and keep a copy of whatever means you use to pay it, as proof that you did. Preferably, you’ll want a letter from them saying you paid it off. At that point, you’ll want to check to make sure the deeds office reflects that they lien is paid, and removed from the property, then contact the credit agencies and make sure it’s removed.

At that point, you should be totally good.

Call the law firm who obtained the Judgment on you (technically once recorded it becomes a lien on your real property). You have a couple options- pay the law firm in certified funds & in turn they must, by law satisfy the Judgment. Or, in some states you can go to the County Clerk’s office & the Clerk can do a satisfaction for you of the final judgment; however you would have to pay a fee to deposit money into the Court’s registry.
Paying the law firm is the easiest way to satisfy the lein; however some of them attorneys can be sneaky & say oh I never received your payment or not file a satisfaction of Judgment.
If you pay your Clerk’s office, they do an offical certificate of satisfaction of Judgment.
Hope this isn’t too confusing.
