The question is what kind of judgment. If it is a judgment lien on property you would have to specficially have the Court void the lien. Mere discharge does not eliminate a valid lien. If you didn't own real property at the time of bankruptcy, generally, a judgment lien cannot attach post-filing. There is no need to eliminate this lien because it is void.
Pay them.
Seriously.
They are your debts. Your promises for what you benefited for.
You caused them to ahve to go through the extra time, expense, and aggravation of getting a judgement.
You escaped paying others, because you could use the law to do so.
Pay these, because the law requires it.
Yes, if it is not a perfected lien against real property and the debt was discharged in the bankruptcy.
The judgment remains as a court record. The credit reporting agencies should report that it has been discharged in bankruptcy. If the bankruptcy remains on your credit report for more than 10 years, you can tell them to remove it.
Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy will not remove a judgment from the debtor's credit report. The judgment will still remain for the required time if it is discharged in bankruptcy, settled or paid in full. Valid judgments remain for the required 7 years. Most judgments are renewable and can be reentered on the debtor's credit report whenever that action is taken.
If the judgment was included in the bankruptcy--many are not--then you take the relevant papers showing that it was paid to the court that issued the judgment. If they consider it paid, then they will issue a receipt to you. Send copies to the credit scoring companies and keep one in your permanent file.
The person wishing to take the action needs to be certain that the debts were actually discharged in the bankruptcy before he or she can take any steps to have the liens lifted. The other issue would be if the property was legally transferred according to the federal or state bankruptcy laws or if it is being challenged as a fraudulent conveyance. If the BK has not been discharged and in most cases closed as well then the liens may still be valid. The best option is to consult with an attorney who is knowledgeable in federal and state bankruptcy matters.
Yes, unless the judgment was a result of fraud. If the judgment creditor has filed a judgment lien against any of your property, you will need to take the additional step of filing a petition under Section 522(f) of the Bankruptcy Code to remove the lien. Be sure to tell your attorney about any liens that you might have against you.
No. The creditor can foreclose on the property (and virtually always do) since that is the way they get your name off of the deed and someone else's name on it. And, during this foreclosure, they will list you as a defendant since you are the property owner until the sheriff sale takes place. But, when the judgment is rendered in the foreclosure, it should be an "in rem" judgment, which means against the property only, and not an "in personam" judgment, which means against you personally. If they do get an in personam judgment against you, it is usually a good idea to notify the court and let them know about the bankruptcy so they remove the in personam judgment.
You can dispute a bankruptcy to the credit bureaus. This gives them 30 days to verify it with the courthouse that filed it or it must removed from your credit report. This would only be the bankruptcy, not the items included in bankruptcy. You would have to dispute them separately. Answer No, a bankruptcy cannot be removed if you actually had one and it was discharged. Rather, it will "time out" after a set number of years. You can recover some credibility after a couple of years of paying accounts as agreed.
Write a letter of dispute to the credit repository. Include copies of your drivers license, social security card, utility bill, and your bankruptcy papers showing the referenced account. Ask that the bureau remove all notations other than "included (or discharged) in bankruptcy". Request a complete credit report after the account has been corrected. Repeat, as needed.
No. What will happen is all the defaulted accounts listed in the bankruptcy will be marked as such.."included in bankruptcy". The credit history, late payments, judgments, etc. will remain the same. In addition to the scenario in the above answer: The bankruptcy filing itself will be listed in the "public records" portion of your credit report. The disposition needs to be listed also (the discharge). The "bad marks" (i.e., the accounts) will show on your credit for 7 years. The bankruptcy listing will show for 7 years for a completed and discharged Chapter 13 bankruptcy and 10 years for a discharged Chapter 7.
You need to get the release from the courts and send it to the credit reporting agency to ask for it to be removed.
You present proof that the repossession never occured. You can dispute it with the credit reporting agency.
