How do you fix a judgment against you when the company that sued you has filed bankruptcy?
The judgment becomes an asset of the bankruptcy estate and thus the "property" of the trustee. The trustee may decide to abandon the judgment as not worth collecting, or may pursue its collection. Either call the trustee's office or check the docket and documents in the bankruptcy court.
If by "fix" you mean pay, check with the trustee's office before sending any money or bank check to anyone. You may be able to settle the claim for less than the full amount.
If you are uncomfortable doing it yourself, get a bankruptcy lawyer.
