Winning a lawsuit will have no impact on your ability to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If you are a judgment creditor, the judgment might become an asset of the bankruptcy estate and the bankruptcy trust might choose to sell the judgment or enforce the judgment for the benefit of your creditors..

if someone files bankruptcy on as credit card does that a third party has charged on and the debt is cleared dose the third party continue paying for a debt that is no longer there

Any time before a judicial lien is filed on any property that you may have. Although you can always do a lien avoidance, it always a better to file BK before the creditor gets a lien on your property- its less hassle for you.
