Pending CC lawsuits pre and post discharge?

[jens5468]

In my case i had two Credit Card Co lawsuits in process before and after discharge.

one of the suits had won a judgement and was garnishing wages.

My quesion is:
Is there some action i should take to stop the law suit process or do they automatically do that and clear the judgement amount since the case numbers where listed in the BK?

Chapt 7 non asset case
discharge 6/1/2010

Thanks for any help.

Does your lawyer know about these suits.

[jens5468]

yes we recorded the in the filing

Verify that your lawyer filed a copy of the bankruptcy with the court. You can swing by the courthouse and peruse the file at your leisure.

I am sure he filed it with the court. I will check to make sure.

If he did, does that dismiss the judgement and close the case?

thank you all for responding!

Your bk filing stopped all collection activity including lawsuits. Once discharged, the automatic stay morphs into a permanent injunction that prohibts any collection activity on accounts that were discharged.
The debt that created the judgment was wiped out in the discharge but, your lawyer still needs to go back to the court that returned the judgment and get it vacacted.
