How can you get a civil judgment from creditor either off your credit report or show it was included in chapter 7 bankruptcy filing?

You cannot get it off of your credit report. You can get the accurate information that the account has been handled in Bankruptcy court on __ date. You need a copy of your bankruptcy judgement. This shows how many and what accounts were written off or still need payment. You can send copies of this to the 3 credit bureaus.
USUALLY, this will help you get the problem mitigated. Not always though as the credit companies only need to respond to material sent in by their contracting clients.
If this is the case, when you get a copy of your credit report, sent in a 100 word or less letter to all 3 credit bureaus telling them what the situation is and they must print that out in all your credit records. This may or may not help, but it is better than nothing by far.

Will filing chapter 7 bankruptcy get rid of a credit card judgment?
Yes. It is the most common reason for filing for bankruptcy. If the judgment creditor had an execution issued and attached any equity in your home, you may have a problem.
If you file chapter 7 bankruptcy and are discharged can a creditor later put a judgment against you for a mortgage on property you surrendered to them when you filed the bankruptcy?
No. The creditor can foreclose on the property (and virtually always do) since that is the way they get your name off of the deed and someone else's name on it. And, during this foreclosure, they will list you as a defendant since you are the property owner until the sheriff sale takes place. But, when the judgment is rendered in the foreclosure, it should be an "in rem" judgment, which means against the property only, and not an "in personam" judgment, which means against you personally. If they do get an in personam judgment against you, it is usually a good idea to notify the court and let them know about the bankruptcy so they remove the in personam judgment.
Should the balance of a creditor you filed chapter 7 on show zero on your credit report after it has been discharged?
