First, slow down. Take a deep breath. Take another. And another.

Now that you can think again, listen up. You NEED to TALK � not post on some legal Q&A board � with a lawyer whom you can call YOUR lawyer (you need someone who lists themselves as a bankruptcy lawyer). Run an online search for "bankruptcy lawyer " to find many potential attorneys, call them up, interview them, and hire the one with whom you feel the most comfortable.

A bankruptcy may get rid of the repo debt; however, the money judgment sounds like it is made in restitution for a crime, which means it may be impossible to get rid of in a bankruptcy.
