Is it possible to have a satisfaction of judgment date modified once it has been filed with the court?
Question Details: Filed bankruptcy over 4 years ago. Listed all debts I knew of. Bankruptcy was discharged several months later. A month or so later, I received notice of garnishment from a creditor not listed on bankruptcy because I was not aware of debt. Called attorney for that creditor to let them know of the bankruptcy. Garnishment never went through after I spoke with them, so I assumed debt was taken care of through discharge. Now, this year, my credit improved so I applied for a home loan but found out that a civil judgment from this creditor still shows not satisfied.
If the creditor that you have written about was not named in your bankruptcy schedule and you received a discharge of your debts in the bankruptcy proceeding, then under federal law, the debt and judgment that you owe was not discharged and you owe this debt in full.
The only exception is if you can prove that this judgment creditor against you knew about your bankruptcy and did not make a claim in your bankruptcy.
