No type of bankruptcy, whether chapter 7, 11, or 13 discharges a civil or criminal judgment against you. Those are considered non-dischargeable debts and will remain with you until you pay them. Be sure to familiarize yourself with what will and will not be discharged before filing for bankruptcy as you may find that much of your debt is nondischargeable in which case bankruptcy may not be the option for you.
