How do I get a judgement lifted that was included in a bankruptcy
It sounds as if the judgment was recorded on a home that you were living in at the time you filed the bankruptcy.

Once you know the "disposition" of the case you would be able to tell whether the charge can be sealed or expunged.

Confused about Bankruptcy
First you must decide whether you want to keep the home despite the fact that you are "upside down" or owe more than what it is worth. If so, you must either work out a modification of some type with the mortgage holder or you must work out terms of the remaining mortgage with your mortgage holder. If you do not have the ability to pay for and keep the home, you could possibly convert your Chapter 13 into a Chapter 7 and expunge certain debts including the home. Obviously, you will have to...
