A lien is always against real property, such as a house. this prevents the property from being sold or used as collateral. A judgment can be anything from the liquidation of assets to garnisment of bank accounts and wages.
Big difference in bankruptcy. There is even a difference in the type of liens. For example, judgment liens are a lot easier to avoid than administrative liens.
Judgment creditors have much less power to affect your plan than lienholders.
These answers are incomplete. For example, there are liens against personal property, including some tax liens and security interests under the uniform commercial code. Consult an experienced competent bankruptcy attorney for a better explanation as soon as possible. Delay, mistakes and acting on incomplete information can be expensive.

Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy will not remove a judgment from the debtor's credit report. The judgment will still remain for the required time if it is discharged in bankruptcy, settled or paid in full.

How do you get a judgment to say satisfied on your credit report when it was discharged in your bankruptcy?
If a judgment was included in, and discharged by, your bankruptcy; there is no need to obtain a separate disposition. Write the credit bureaus and send a copy of your bankruptcy papers which show this judgment included. That should suffice to have the judgment removed from your report and the original tradeline from the debt marked "included in BK". Talk with an attorney or go to a bank that has a notary service.

Can you get a civil judgment removed from your credit report if it was included and discharged in a bankruptcy even if the judgment date is later than the bankruptcy discharge date?
No, debts, liens, judgments incurred after a bankruptcy has been filed cannot be included and therefore cannot be discharged in the BK proceedings.AnswerI was informed that if you had included this creditor in your bankruptcy, which was discharged, the creditor should have stoped all actions towards obtaining a judgment against you. I believe this judgment can be discharged by filing a discharge request with the court administrator and only then removed from the credit report. However, if you did not list this creditor on your bankruptcy, then it will prevail. Call the court administrator.

How do you remove a court judgment on your property after receiving a discharge of bankruptcy?
If the judgment was included in the bankruptcy--many are not--then you take the relevant papers showing that it was paid to the court that issued the judgment. If they consider it paid, then they will issue a receipt to you. Send copies to the credit scoring companies and keep one in your permanent file.
