Re: judgements

The underlying debts were presumably discharged, but the judgments themselves remain of record since they are not automatically expunged of record simply because of your Chapter 7 discharge. As a metter of New Jersey State law, application can be made to the court for the entry of an order directing the Clerk of the Superior Court of NJ to expunge the judgments of record by reason of the underlying debts having been discharged in bankruptcy. Please contact me if you would like me to handle that for you - (973) 664-1090.
