The debt was definitely incurred before the filing date. If the judgment is, in fact, void, then how do I convince future creditors of this. For example, I would like to open a checking account. Your post seems to imply that it might be the case that the judgment is "voidable". I would assume that it would not affect my ability to open a checking account, if it were "void". What actions must I take to make the judgment "void"? Might my only option be to reopen the case, in order to have that judgement listed under my BK on my credit report?
If you are in a jurisdiction where the post petition entry of a judgment is "void" and I do believe that this is a majority of the jurisdictions, I would suggest that you contact the attny for the bank and recommend that he/she takes steps to set aside the judgment and dismiss the suit. (Remind the attny that the continuation of the suit and the entry of the judgment was 1) a violation of the automatic stay prior to the entry of the discharge and 2) a violation of the Discharge Injuction.) This is what I, as the attny for the debtor, would do. Try it. It will probably work.
