Forgive me in advance, I realize Blacklisting is in the reference section and the topic comes up repeatedly. However, after reading the reference piece I'm not clear on the proper action that will keep me off the blacklist. My LL filed a Notice of Petition-Non Payment Dwelling after refusing rent checks (I have proof). They've finally accepted it so that issue is settled. I've requested a Stipulation Of Discontinuance And Withdrawal With Prejudice with specific language to delete me from any database. The attorney responded saying a stip will be entered but not specifically addressing the 'with prejudice' or the deletion. So I have 3 questions:
1 - This is what I'm still confused about re: blacklisting. Do you only get blacklisted if there is a judgement? I.e., a discontinued case won't hit the credit report?
2 - What's the difference between discontinuance and withdrawal?
3 - Do I need to file a motion or file a counterclaim in order to ask for the with prejudice and the deletion?
