If I could give 10 stars, I would. This was any extremely difficult
and time consuming question to research, and was so well done, giving
me an extremely clear answer.

Thank you, this is exactly the information I needed.

Thanks for the quick answer. We found it very useful.

The answer was outstanding. I have some further clarification based
upon your answer that I am hoping you could provide. I hope the
additional compensation in the form of a tip will elicit further
information from you.  1) Your answer to Question 4 included the
phrase : "database of court filings". Do you happen to have a
Massachusetts web link / contact person / resources which accesses
this particular web link? Also, you reference a "action date" You
stated in your answer to Q4: "An eviction action all by itself --
without a judgement...WILL show up in a database of court filings."
Given this information, here is additional information on the Eviction
Notice. On the upper right hand part it says "Entry Date (file with
Court by) September 16th." There is a stamp on the Eviction notice
which is with a Constable's signature dated Sept. 7. Payment to the
landlord for the entire amount stated on the Evicition notice was
received on September 14th. Tip Question: When you stated, "an
eviction action all by itself" are you refering to the (Date of the)
action by the Constable (Sept 7)? Is the action The Entry Date listed
on the Eviction notice (Sept 14) ? Or is the action the scheduled
hearing which appears on the eviction notice (which in this case is
Sept 26)? The payment was made before the Entry date of Sept 14? Is it
possible the "database of court filings" will include the names on the
eviction notice if the payment was made before the entry date? If so,
what are the rescindsuch names from the court records. Once again,
your answer will provide my research with a great deal of investment
in the subject matter I am writing about.

The answer could help more with case law demonstrating how this has
been interpreted, as RICO cases are similar and yet different.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. My inexperience with the law shows. =) IF my GF has
to physcially attend court, I may have to tuck in my pride and
approach my pastor at church to see if there is an attorney and member
of the church that would be willing to take this case for a nominal
fee.
