Q: I need to remove a judgment lien on my car that was settled through bankruptcy. What statute should I use in my motion?
I am trying to file a pro se motion in the county court under the same docket number in which the judgement was granted. It has been over 1 year since my bankruptcy was discharged and I still have a lien on my car for back taxes that were discharged in bankruptcy. I was told by the NJ Dept of Taxation that I had to file a 2A motion to release the lien/judgment. I'm trying to find out more info...
I am not trying to re open my bankruptcy case. As of July 2011, you can file a motion to discharge your judgment liens in the New Jersey superior court where the lien was placed one year after your bankruptcy case is closed, this is the option I am trying to get more info on...
A: You actually need to file a motion in the bankruptcy court that the lien impairs the exemption. As your case is closed you need to reopen the case. This could cost $1500, plus filing fees. The lien survives bankruptcy if it is on your car title.
A: Goggle the case of Party Parrot in NJ and that will give you the statute and procedure to follow.
