So I called my court and they told me to write a letter to them asking to vacate the judgment with the discharge notice attached, along with a copy of the judgment. I didn't have to pay anything. They said to call to follow up in reasonable time. We'll see what happens.
I used this sample I found online. Of course, it's edited to suit my needs.
