You must consult privately with a local Bankruptcy attorney to make sure that they will be removed. It is possible to do, but not if your Bankruptcy attorney does not know about it and take the appropriate measures.

If you are short money for the fee for a Bankruptcy attorney, please consult my website at www.stopcalls.net

Using State and Federal Law consumer protection we may be able to obtain compensation for you from harassing debt collection calls. You might then choose to apply your settlement funds to your bankruptcy costs and fees.

Lien avoidance requires a separate procedure within a bankruptcy proceeding, and judgment liens can only be avoided if they impair an exemption.
