Unless the court has ordered a payment plan or the tenant/judgment creditor has agreed to a payment plan, then you must pay the lump sum. Otherwise, the tenant/creditor may proceed with collecting the judgment, including garnishment.

Is a judgment removed by filing a chapter 7?

The judgment is not "removed" but the judgment creditor is barred by the discharge from collecting on the judgment. Filing a c. 7 will stay the collection, but if the case is dismissed before a discharge is granted, the judgment is enforceable. If the judgment involves intentional harm or drunk driving or certain other limited situations, the discharge does not prevent collection on the judgment.
