Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Judgement/Lien during Bankruptcy

Filed Bankruptcy 3-16-00. Received a complaint-contract on 3-20-00. Amended bankruptcy because of complaint on 5-4-00.

Bankruptcy discharge filed on 5-19-00. Thought all was taken care of. July 29, 2003: I receive a call from my ex who is trying to close escrow on a re-finance on the house we had bought together but that I had deeded over to him. A lien of $7,000 is now on the property and escrow can't close without satisfaction of the judgement? The lawyer that placed the lien says he'll settle for $4,000. What do I do?

Re: Judgement/Lien during Bankruptcy

If both your names were on the lawsuit, then the money is owed. If only your name, you should call an attorney ASAP.
