Can you file bankruptcy if you have charged off and judgment accounts 10 years ago?

If those are the only debts, the question becomes, what is the statute of limitations on the debt and the judgments. Some states limit judgments to ten years, some twenty, and some of the ten-year states allow extension of collection on the judgment to another ten years.
If the debts and judgments are no longer collectible, why file? Nothing prevents you from filing, however.

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.
How can you quickly remove a judgment from your credit report?
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. Valid judgments remain for the required 7 years. Most judgments are renewable and can be reentered on the debtor's credit report whenever that action is taken.
The accounts that you discharged in bankruptcy should no longer show on your credit report after 1 year?
The accounts can remain up to seven years after the last payment was made, but will show a zero balance due to a bankruptcy filing.
What motion do you file to remove a judgment after BK 7?
The judgment remains as a court record. The credit reporting agencies should report that it has been discharged in bankruptcy. If the bankruptcy remains on your credit report for more than 10 years, you can tell them to remove it.
Can a judgment that was discharged be reinstated 2 and a half years after the chapter 7 bk judgment was included in the bankruptcy?
It depends on the specific circumstances and laws governing bankruptcy in your jurisdiction. Generally, once a judgment is discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, it cannot be reinstated. However, if there were any exceptions to discharge or if the judgment was based on fraud, it could potentially be reinstated. It is best to consult with a bankruptcy attorney for guidance specific to your situation.
How long can Indiana hold my drivers license do to a judgment?
Judgments in Indiana are good for 20 years and they have to renew it every 5 years. Have you considered bankruptcy?
Can your motor vehicle license be suspended if you have a judgment against you in Pennsylvania?
Yes, you can settle, make payments, file bankruptcy or move to a state that the DMV does not recognize the judgment. Many states are creating legislation to block their states from a national DMV. Bankruptcy is not good for the judgment holder since they would see nothing as far as money, so settling is in your favor. Also bankruptcy will muck up your credit for years.
Does filing bankruptcy remove bad marks from your credit report?
No. What will happen is all the defaulted accounts listed in the bankruptcy will be marked as such.."included in bankruptcy". The credit history, late payments, judgments, etc. will remain the same. In addition to the scenario in the above answer: The bankruptcy filing itself will be listed in the "public records" portion of your credit report. The disposition needs to be listed also (the discharge). The "bad marks" (i.e., the accounts) will show on your credit for 7 years. The bankruptcy listing will show for 7 years for a completed and discharged Chapter 13 bankruptcy and 10 years for a discharged Chapter 7.
You were going to file bankruptcy but did not. However it is on your credit report anyhow What can you do We never met a judge never filed anything?
Why "however?" Obviously, you can do one of three things: 1. pay the judgment, interest, etc.; 2. negotiate a settlement with the judgment creditor;, and 3. file bankruptcy. The judgment will stay on your credit report for at least 10 years (20 in some states, and renewable in others for an additional 10 years). The bankruptcy would have been on your report for 10 years from the date of filing. Go ahead, believe the corporate "financial analysts" on CNN and the networks who tell you NOT to file bankruptcy. It certainly helps them keep their jobs.
If you have an account that is showing negative and it was included in a bankruptcy can you have the negative account removed or does it stay there and count as two negatives?
The term negative is rather confusing. If the account did not have a balance it would not have been included in the bankruptcy. Any account included in a bankruptcy will remain on the report for the requred length of time, open accounts would be seven years, they will be marked included in bankruptcy. The BK accounts listing will remain for 10.
How do you remove a bankruptcy from your credit?
You can dispute a bankruptcy to the credit bureaus. This gives them 30 days to verify it with the courthouse that filed it or it must removed from your credit report. This would only be the bankruptcy, not the items included in bankruptcy. You would have to dispute them separately. Answer No, a bankruptcy cannot be removed if you actually had one and it was discharged. Rather, it will "time out" after a set number of years. You can recover some credibility after a couple of years of paying accounts as agreed.
If a car is repossessed and sold at auction for less than the amount owed to the lender will filing bankruptcy discharge the remaining balance if it has been reduced to judgment?
It depends on the chapter. In either case, your remaining debt is now unsecured and a bankruptcy filing places the judgment on hold. If it is Chapter 13, file a claim and you may receive a percentage of the bankruptcy estate, but not usually until near the end of the bankruptcy term (3-5 years). If it's a Chapter 7, again, it's an unsecured debt and highly unlikely that the debtor will sign a reaffirmation to pay you back. If the bankruptcy gets dismissed (thrown out), your judgment is back in force, provided it has not expired.
