Re: Bankruptcy
The debt owed on the judgment was discharged in your Chapter 7 bankruptcy. However, the judgment itself is a public record, which you can't "unfile" or remove totally. You can rest assured, however, that neither the creditor nor its attorneys can execute on it, as they've acknowledged to you. The judgment should not have any effect on you going forward, although it can be reported on your credit report for a period of time.
