yes but you still need to talk to a Bankruptcy attorney
You will receive a letter from the court notifying you that you have received a discharge.
Yes, most judgments can be discharged in a chapter 7 bankruptcy.
In most cases it will be sent to you by the bankruptcy court. If you need another copy or have not received your discharge papers when you believe you should have then contact the bankruptcy court to obtain them.
If you included it in your bankruptcy, you're protected by the discharge. If you didn't and you're already discharged from Chapter 7, you may not be protected. I suggest you discuss this with your bankruptcy lawyer.
No, Once you have a discharge its like starting over. dicharge mean its done. No other actions will take place.
It depends. Most any of the types can, or may not. Some considerations are if your speaking of a business (Corporation) or personal bankruptcy, if the debts are secured or not, and how much of what type of assets there are and if any of them are to be maintained after the bankruptcy as determined by the Court and creditors. There is no personal bankruptcy where secured debts or other obligations such as child support arrearages. A chapter 7 is a total liquidation bankruptcy in which the debtor can discharge all debts that are not secured including judgments, liens that have not been "perfected", stop wage garnishment, etc. The petitioner will however be required to relinquish all non exempted property.
If you are sued and a creditor gets a judgment against you, you may be able to discharge your personal liability on that judgment in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This will depend on whether the underlying debt is dischargeable (meaning you can wipe it out in bankruptcy) or nondischargeable.
In a U.S. Bankruptcy Court
Chapter 7 is a complete discharge of all dischargeable debts. Chapter 13 is a repayment plan of the debts under the bankruptcy court's supervision and protection.
Chapter 13 permits debtors to receive a discharge, but only after a payment plan between 3 and 5 years. You would need to file a petition for discharge under Chapter 13 with the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court in your district. This petition will include schedules of all of your debts and creditors. Within 14 days, a debtor needs to propose a plan for repayment or adjustment of all debts within a 3 to 5 year period. If the plan is approved by the court, repayments begin within 30 days. It is highly recommended that you seek the advice of a local bankruptcy attorney in a Chapter 13 Petition.

If you filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and buy a car before the discharge is issued, there's no impact on your case. If you're in Chapter 13, however, your disposable income post-filing until discharge may be considered property of the estate; in addition, if you're financing the new car then you likely need to have the court's permission before entering into the financing agreement.
Under the new Bankruptcy laws you must now wait 8 years before filing another Chapter & or Total Bankruptcy as it is better know. You may be eligible to file if eligible a Chapter 13 to structure repayment to those creditors.
