BK generally won't discharge a judgement from a lawsuit or action made before the filing of the BK.

Also you don't file BK for a thing...a this or a that...YOU file bankruptcy. It involves and everything you owe and everything you own. Some certain things may be exempt (or treated specially) from being used to pay a debt, and some debts may not be cleared. A secured debt, that is one that has a right to a certain asset, has first call on the funds from the sale of the asset....and if that isn't enough, any additional amounts can be claimed as unsecured debts owed, and provided by other assets.

But the important thing to start is you do not pick and chose what you want to include...because just like your question...you would include the loan (and every debt)...but not the property, or assets!

Bankruptcy will eliminate judgments most of the time. There is a possibility that a creditor might contest this, but it is rare a judge doesn't decide in favor of the debtor.
