It sounds like you would have to re-open your bankruptcy case to file a motion, in the bankruptcy court, to eliminate the judgment lien.

Now you see why filing bankruptcy without an attorneys is liked doing your own brain surgery. Not a good idea even if you are a brain surgeon. You will have to reopen your case to get the lien avoided.
