    Ok, this is probably the most asked question I received at my old job. If you had a judgment prior to filing bankruptcy the only way for it to have been removed by the bankruptcy is if your attorney filed a Motion to Avoid Judgment in the bankruptcy to take care of the judgment. If he did not file a separate Motion then the judgments stay regardless of the case being discharged.
    In my business most debtors don't tell their attorneys about the judgments they have until it's too late.

    At this point you can try to settle with your creditors.
