First of all, thank you for your response. What is shows is DISMISSED (dismissed before trial) and does not show that I was served. I haven't been evicted (ever) as I am still residing at the same residence that 'filed for eviction'. I am still here because I have been denied residency at 3 other placed I've applied to in the last 3 months. It's as if nothing happened...until my report gets pulled. It seems that there is nothing I can do...I was advised to go to my landlord and have them call all 3 credit bureaus to have them remove the eviction (but it will not appear on my actual credit report) and to call the court and make sure they dismissed it and to have them pull it from my public record...now I'm no lawyer but, I don't think it's just a matter of picking up the phone??? This is truly a nightmare for me as I have nothing to do with an eviction, yet it appears on my credit (resident screening report) which is insidious...cheap blow under the belt if you ask me.
