How can you prove that a judgment has been discharged in a bankruptcy?
The answer depends on the context. If you properly listed the debt in your bankruptcy, then the bankruptcy cour will have a proof of service showing that the creditor was notified of both the bankruptcy and the discharge. You can get those documents from the court's file and show them to the creditor or the creditor's attorney. If the creditor insists on attempting to collect the debt, you should retain an attonrey to reopen the bankruptcy and file a lawsuit called an adversary proceeding for damages and sanctions against the creditor and/or the creditor's attorney. One point that many people do not realize is that while a judgment can be discharged in bankruptcy, judgment LIENS are NOT discharged unless you file the proper motion with the bankruptcy court.

Attorneys are presumed to be officers of the court and are bound legally and ethically to represent their clients best interest. The majority of which do so, even though the general public opinion seems to be otherwise. That being noted, when you retain an attorney for bankruptcy, he/she will file the required documents in either federal or state bankruptcy court. You will receive notice when the filing has been entered along with other pertinent documents and information including the date for the creditor's meeting, which you must attend. If you have concerns about when or if the filing has been made, you should contact your attorney.
