My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: WA. I have a judgment against me which I may try to discharge by filing Chapter 7, because I am unable to pay the debt due to my being homeless and unemployed. If I am successful in this petition does discharging the judgment also vacate it, or does that require a separate action? And, does discharging the judgment through Chapter 7 remove the judgment from my credit report, or must the judgment be vacated to remove it from my credit report? Or, does the judgment remain on my credit report for ten years regardless of actions taken to discharge or vacate?
