I have 4 judgements on my credit report, one is a credit card the others are medical bills. I have had the CC one on for almost 10 years will it ever be off or should I file bankruptcy since I am on disability and have no way to pay them off. My credit score is 544 which is bad so how much worse would it be if I filed bankruptcy.

I recently received judgment papers in the mail and wanted to know if they could garnish my wages and if so how long after the judgement would this happen? I also would like to know if I am thinking about filing chapter 7 or 13 does it matter that some of my creditor's have already written the debt of and have not been calling trying to collect any money. Should I just leave things the way they are with my credit/judgements? How much worse could things become for me if I don't do anything. Will the bad Debt write off's go away after 7 years or so? I don't want the courts to start garnishing my wages. Will I receive something in the mail before this happens to give me a heads up? I'm really not sure what I should do at this point file for bankruphy or do nothing?

Unfortunately for you, BD does know what she is talking about, and most lilkey, it will remain on your report. I concur with her. If you have an attorney who handled your bankruptcy, why didn't you run this query past him. I mean you did pay him to handle the paperwork right? Your lawyer cannot *cancel* something reported to the credit bureaus. You would have to dispute it.
