If you file bankruptcy will it also erase a vehicle repossession on another person's credit report?

It doesn't erase anything on your own credit report....just adds to it, why would it change someone elses? It adds that you are a bankrupt as well as having missed payments and had a repossession. A credit report simply reports what happened in the past....what ever you do now does not change it...you live with the history you created.

If a doctor bill was being paid to a collection agency but they filed a judgment anyway can you get rid of the judgment on your credit report?

A judgment will stay on your credit report for at least seven years. Only time will remove this. Just adding to the answer given. There is one way to have a judgement removed from your credit report. Although this is not a guarantee, you do have a right to contact the creditor to work out a deal to have the judgement removed. When you do this offering to pay the debt in full or make installments can be helpful. Only agree to do this when the creditor has made an agreement to erase the judgment off of your record. This must be in writing. If this does not work the use of a qualified attorney can help to make this happen. Creditors have the power to have judgements removed. Some will be happy to work with you and some will refuse even when offering to pay the balance.
