You probably don't need to go to court. What kind of judgment was it?

The most important thing is to keep a solid paper trail of records that prove you paid the judgment. For example, a receipt would be great. Cancelled check too.

I'm sorry but I didn't see what State you are from, but in my state (CA) the judgment creditor should file a "Satisfaction of Judgement" with the court.

My suggestion is for you to search your State's website and the answer may be posted in the FAQs. Your other option is to tell us the name of your State and one of the senior members will be glad to help you

Here is a sample "Satisfaction of Judgment" form from Illinois:
