Unless the money judgment you have against the person who damaged your bike was for an intentional tort, most likely the judgment can be eliminated in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing by the judgment debtor. You need to read the judgment you have to see if the judgment states that the conduct of the judgment debtor was something to the effect, "intentional, purposeful, wrongful or malicious".If there is no language similar to what I stated, most likely your judgment can be discharged in the filed bankruptcy even if the judgment was filed after the bankruptcy filing. The only exception would be if the wrongful acts by the person who filed for bankruptcy occurred after the filing of the bankrupcty.
