How does bankruptcy affect a judgment?

I’m filing chapter 7 bankruptcy and the BK attorney tells me that my questionnaire looks good, and I pass the means test so things should go fairly smooth. A collection firm is presently suing me for credit card debt and I expect they will have a judgment soon. I’ve been told that my bankruptcy will "take care" of the judgment. But what exactly does "take care of" mean in this case? Does the bankruptcy simply relieve a need to pay on the judgment? Or does it also erase the existence of the judgment from my credit record? If not then can I take some follow up action to erase it myself?

If filing for bankruptcy, should I file before, or after, filing/receive my tax refund?

I’m considering filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but whether or not I’m allowed to keep my tax refund will determine which chapter I file. If I receive enough tax refund, and am allowed to keep it, I wouldn’t need to worry about losing my car in the bankruptcy – I could use my tax refund to buy an older model used car. BUT, if I did buy an older car with my refund, would I then be required to list it as an asset (that I could potentially be forced to sell in order to pay things off)?

If I won’t get to keep my tax refund, then I may file Ch. 13 instead…keeping the car I’m currently making payments on. No matter what, I have to do whichever allows me to have a car – I have to have a way to get back & forth to work.

I know many of you are going to say "call an attorney". I’ve tried to contact my attorney, but she’s never in her office & hasn’t returned my calls. If you’ve been through it, can you give me any advice?

Filing bankruptcy should I do it before or after I get another car…?

On Thursday I’m due to see a lawyer about filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. The problem is I need to try and get another car this month. Should I file bankruptcy before or after I get another car. My current car which I have a debt consolidation loan on is sitting at a mechanic collecting dust because I can’t afford to get it fixed and the debt folks wont release my title even though its a useless car. I can easily get another car with low monthly payments but will that look bad if I file bankruptcy?

Can you file bankruptcy on a court ordered judgment b/c of car accident to lift suspended driver license?

This person smashed up my car from negligent driving and had no car insurance. I received a judgment and had his license suspended all of this happened in Illinois. They are now in Texas and can’t get a legit driver’s license due to the suspension/judgment. They now say they are going to file chapter 7 in Texas to overcome this situation. Would filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy vacate my judgment? Can he really do this?

Thanks to idenity theift i pulled my credit, i found alot more than i expected but as it turns out they do all pan out. I am thinking about filing chapter 7 bankruptcy but since my wife’s credit is good we dont want it to show on her file, heres the thing. We are young we have nothing in our name our house is owned by her parents our cars are paid off we have no loans or anything of that nature with both of our names on it I would be filing by myself with out her. All my bad credit is old starting when i was 18 and I want to get a fresh start and with all the old medical bills and things bankruptcy seems the best for our family. I’ve read alot on these sites saying your credit is there credit and when you are married there debt becomes yours, this isnt true my wife’s credit score is over 700 while mine is in the 500’s this is why i am asking i dont want it showing up on her file…. does anyone get what im trying to say???
