What do I have to do to remove judgments after filing bankruptcy?
I have 6 judgments against me that were discharged in my bankruptcy. Now I need to get them off my record. I have 2 forms that I will need to fill out but what do I need to mail to the creditor that has the judgment? The forms have no set of instructions. What do I do after I fill them out?

The way one typically removes judgments from his or her credit report after a bankruptcy discharge is to send several letetrs to various credit reporting agencies with copies of your order of bankruptcy discharge with the list of designated creditors on your bankruptcy on the proof of service.
Keep a copy of this letter for future use and need. It is then up to the credit reporting agencies to show that the judgments against you have been discharged.
You should also do the same with the former creditors that you have written about and complete the forms that you have written about.
