Can I have a judgment removed or updated on the court docket?

Question Details: In 2002 I was sued by a credit card company for debt. I was issued a court date of 7/24/02. On 7/23/02, a day before my court date, I filed chapter 7, which should have stopped collection action; subsequently I did not appear in court the next day. However, an ex-parte judgment was allowed on the 24th, and is still on the docket 7 years later. Is there any procedure, motion, petition, etc. to remove that judgment from the court docket, since it was issued after my bankruptcy filing? If it can't be removed, would it be better to have the docket updated, or should I just leave it alone?
