If two creditors filed liens on your home after you filed bankruptcy, you need to show this to the court and indicate this was a violation of the automatic stay provisions of the bankruptcy filing. Further, if the debts were indeed discharged, these liens must not be on the home. Depending on the creditor, though, other things can happen but ultimately be prepared to fight the lien in bankruptcy court.
