The judgment is not "removed" but the judgment creditor is barred by the discharge from collecting on the judgment. Filing a c. 7 will stay the collection, but if the case is dismissed before a discharge is granted, the judgment is enforceable. If the judgment involves intentional harm or drunk driving or certain other limited situations, the discharge does not prevent collection on the judgment.
The judgment would of come through the court system. You would need to contact the court to know who to pay. You can dispute the listing to the credit bureaus, but that doesn't mean it will be removed. They have 30 days to verify the listing and if it isn't verified it must be removed.

A charge off does not define the debt as invalid or uncollectable. It is a designation used by creditors to indicate the debt is being removed from their normal accounting methods and sent into collection action. If the creditor sues the debtor and receives a judgment (they always do) the judgment can be used as a levy against the debtor's bank account.
A judgment is essentially a lawsuit that has been filed against you for a debt owed by a creditor. This can be filed by anyone you owe money to, including collection agencies, companies, or people you do business with. It can be extremely damaging to your credit score unless removed. You can remove it by disputing it to the credit bureaus. The credit bureaus will have 30 days to verify the listing with the courthouse where it was filed or it must be removed. Removal all depends are age, amount owed, and the which courthouse.
Short answer, a valid judgment can be executed against the debtor's non exempt property at any time. A judgment that has been perfected as a lien against real property is more likely to be implemented as a forced sale of the property in question. And a judgment accrues interest until it is paid or satisfied with the judgment creditor.
Your best bet is send a certified letter to the agencies who have your debt listed. Be polite and give them 30 days notice to remove the negative information. After 30 days have expired run another credit report to see if they removed the information. If the negative information is not removed you should file small claims judgment against the credit-reporting agency.
If a judgment goes in the bankruptcy, it can be removed. The person who the judgment was for, has the right to request that it still be paid. In most Chapter 7 situations, the judge will decide in favor of the debtor.
You can't. The fact that you have a judgment will stay with for years
Only the collection agency or the credit bureaus can remove a collection off a credit report. You can negotiate the removal of the collection off the credit report upon final payment of the debt owed. Some collection agencies have policies against this, some don't. You can also redispute it to the credit bureaus as many times as they will let you. It has a higher chance of being removed if it is paid off and an older account.
