I filed Chapter 7 and before we had the chance to remove the recorded Judgements, the court discharged the case and closed it. I wonder how to remove the judgements without re-opening the case. We know that the judgements were wiped out in the bankruptcy, but not sure how the recording can be voided and removed?
So if I attempt to purchase real estate in a couple of years, the escrow and title companies wouldn’t bother asking me to deal with those judgements???
You can file a dispute with the bureaus, tell them that debt was discharged in your bankruptcy (you might provided them with a copy of your discharge papers). The bureaus should note the judgment as "Judgment in Bankruptcy". But it will not be removed — it will remain on your credit report for 7 years from date of entry.
