What is the name of your state? OH

My ex-landlord sued me for damages in small claims for $1400. He had my $395 deposit. Judge decided there was no damage but said that furniture I left cost $240 to move. Judgement was for plaintiff $240, but Plaintiff was to pay me $155, balance of deposit. Judge wrote a decision that said there was a judgement aginst me. I paid court costs, judge refused to acknowledge a satisfaction of judgement. Plaintiff refuses too sign a satisafaction and hasn't paid me. Court records shows I have an outstanding judgement and I can' get it removed, even tho it has been paid(retained by plaintiff).
Any advice apprciated.

Ask the court clerk for a statement showing where the dough went. If it shows that the plaintiff got what he was awarded, then ask the clerk if the clerk can mark the judgment satisfied.
