Can I receive a judgment while I am making payments for my bankruptcy?

A judgment is what comes at the end of a lawsuit.  We can only stop a lawsuit once your bankruptcy is filed. Most creditor harassment will stop after you start telling your creditors to call us, but a lawsuit is different because a lawsuit is a court proceeding. You will need to get your fees paid so that we can get your bankruptcy case filed if you need to avoid a future judgment against you. If you already have a judgment, the judgment will probably be discharged in your bankruptcy, but to know for sure, please contact your local partner and tell us about the lawsuit.
