What if a creditor files a lawsuit for a debt that has already been discharged in a bankruptcy?
If it's a small-claims case, answer that the debt was discharged in bankruptcy and attach a copy of the discharge order. Otherwise, contact an attorney to either provide a similar answer *or* take the creditor to Federal court for violating the discharge.
What if the debt is incurred after the bankruptcy filing but before the bankruptcy discharge?
When an individual files for bankruptcy, he/she must list down all the creditors and debts that they have. If the bankruptcy has already been filed and the individual has incurred new debt but has not yet been discharged by bankruptcy, that new debt is not included in the bankruptcy discharge. For an official opinion, it is advised you seek legal counsel. It is really important to seek legal advice from the expert about filing for bankruptcy.
Can a judgment be put on your credit if the debt was part of the bankruptcy?
Not if the debt was discharged in the bankruptcy. If the judgment was on the credit report before the bankruptcy was filed and/or was discharged in the bankruptcy, the entry will still remain on the CR for seven years.

What happens to a mortgage after a bankruptcy?
What happens to a mortgage after bankruptcy depends on whether or not the debt is reaffirmed.

How do creditors report your bankruptcy discharge?
The creditor reports to the credit reporting bureau(s) they belong to that the debt has been listed in a bankruptcy in which a discharge has been granted.

The court does not specifically determine that a debt is discharged unless an adversarial action involving the discharge of that debt has been heard and a decision by the court has been made.
