Yes, most judgments can be discharged in a chapter 7 bankruptcy.
A judgment is final and does not change. The creditor was awarded and filing bankruptcy is a different issue. Also state laws vary. A petition in bankruptcy lists the debtor's assets, liabilities, and debts so that a realistic arrangement for the payment of creditors can be devised.
There is something amiss here, a debt that is discharged in bankruptcy is no longer collectible. Therefore a lawsuit could not be filed and won nor a judgment awarded to the plaintiff pertaining to such a debt. The involved party should contact the attorney that handled the bankruptcy and have the judgment voided if it is indeed invalid. It would be advisable to acertain if the debt was discharged rather than excluded from the bankruptcy or perhaps sold previous to the filing of the petition.
The short answer to this question is YES.
No.
If the creditor sues the debtor in civil court and is awarded a judgment the judgment can be executed as a wage garnishment.
The creditor can file suit against the debtor and if the creditor is successful and is awarded a judgment the judgment can be executed against all non exempt real and personal property belonging to the judgment debtor.
Yes. Not if the judgment was for a case involving fraud. And the state doesn't make any difference, unless there is a state bankruptcy procedure that you are using.
No, judgments awarded due to personal injury or property damage are not dischargeable under bankruptcy law.
After the creditor wins a lawsuit and has been awarded a judgment against the debtor and then files the judgment as a wage garnishment action.
The term describes the action taken by the court when the named defendant fails to respond to the lawsuit summons in writing and/or appearance upon the court date. A defendant is not required to make an appearance in court in a creditor suit, but failure to do so means the plaintiff will be automatically be awarded a writ of judgment. Such a judgment can then be executed against the defendant's real and personal property in accordance with the laws of the defendant's state.
A judgment is a court order giving a creditor or someone who is owed money (such as money that was borrowed from a friend) the legal right to collect the debt in accordance with the laws of the state. The term "outstanding" indicates the judgment has not been paid or settled, but is still valid. A judgment that has been awarded to the judgment plaintiff but has not been paid by the judgment debtor.A judgment that has been awarded to the judgment plaintiff but has not been paid by the judgment debtor.
If both persons were sued and a judgment awarded but only the husband filed bankruptcy and included the debt; the judgment can still be executed against any non-exempt property belonging to the wife and perhaps jointly owned property as well. The legal presumption is that the debt is still owed because it was jointly incurred.
