eviction on me, judgement listed against me in the apartment favor

Quoting REAL PERSON
Dear Sir,
I noticed that you said that matters of law cannot be removed from your credit report, but I have a question regarding if I have a case on a matter that affected me a couple of years ago.
I moved into an apartment complex in April 2004, June I was injured while at work when I stepped off a curb and severely hurt my ankle. When you are working a job as a new car salesman in a 100% commission sales position, if you are injured you cannot work.
Anyway, I approached my apartment complex and let them know that I would probably be a little late with my rent because my sales were impacted because of my injury and the economy was tough enough as it was and people were just not buying new cars hardly.
They filed for eviction on me, I received a letter from the County Courts telling me that the complex filed on me. Furious, I confronted the management and they told me if I moved out of my apartment before the date on the letter then there won't be any consequences.
I moved out after trying unsuccessfully to come up with the money so I would not have to move. I recently got my credit report and I found two things that really made me go ballistic. #1 The county has a sort of judgement listed against me in the apartment favor. #2 After being in the apartments for barely two months and they made me move, they are requesting I owe them almost $3,000.00.
This is just wrong deceitful and down right scandalous, you mean to tell me there is nothing I can do? I was victimized and lied to. I like to know am I screwed, can the FTC intervene here or is there a way an attorney can fight this for me.
Regards,
REAL PERSON

This is the typical lease aggreement consequences....
All I can say is you are obligated to pay them under the terms of the lease and by law they can do just as you have stated. If you pay them or get back in they would take the item off your credit I think.
Sorry I can not be of more help
