Dropping a bounced cheque case after settlement with the bank

I had a bounced cheque case with a bank, for which I was sentenced to 2 years in absentia.

However, I made a one-time full payment and final settlement with the bank and paid them the amount.

Will the sentence get removed? How do I get it removed?

Will the sentence get removed? How do I get it removed?

It can be removed, however, you need to have this settlement agreement notarized.

Then you should make an objection/appeal to the judgment issued in absentia which will be referred to the court that you can submit the notarized agreement to, and ask for dismissing the case due to the settlement.
