If a judgment is not listed as "discharged in bankruptcy" on one's credit report after bankruptcy, one can make a written request to the three national credit reporting agencies to reinvestigate your report and list it as discharged (they normally need proof of the bankruptcy filing, such as a copy of the Notice of Bankruptcy or at least the Discharge). (See Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 611(a)(1)(A)). One can contact them at: Trans Union Corporation ATTN: Public Records Department 555 West Adams Street Chicago, IL 60661 Experian Profile Management P.O. Box 9558 Allen, TX 75013 Equifax P.O. Box 144717 Orlando, FL 32814 Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.

Yes and no. If an account was already charged-off before the bankruptcy, it can be reported as a charge-off. By law, the creditors must charge-off accounts included in bankruptcy, BUT they can not REPORT that charge-off if it happens AFTER the bankuptcy. Negative reporting on discharged debts is a violation of the permanent injunction of the discharge.

State Income Tax Claims, Federal Tax Claims, and Real Estate Taxes must be included in a bankruptcy filing. Income tax claims that are less than three years old will usually be consolidated with other debts and paid over three to five years in a Chapter 13. Depending upon income and assets, income tax claims for returns that were filed more than three years before the bankruptcy can sometimes be reduced substantially in a Chapter 13 and eliminated completely in a Chapter 7.The discharge of the debt in a bankruptcy, can actually cause taxable income for the year it is discharged if not handled proerly. You will get a 1099-C for most matters concering it.

The judgment and the lien may reflect two different debts. Normally you cannot include a judgment in a bankrupcy or amend the amount to be paid since it is a court ordered payment to be made. You need to pay the court and get a paid receipt for the judgment. The payment of the lien would be reflected in a release of the lien for that property.

That's not blanket protection, you are only protected from the included creditors that are dischargeable and discharged. They must cease all action when you file, but after case is over those not discharged or included can get judgements. If it is for a discharged debt it can be vacated. A lien is coming your way, so get rid of it.
