Probably. One would have to examine the debt and see what the actual award was for to properly answer your question. Take the judgment to a competent bankruptcy attorney and let them analyze the dischargeability of it for you.
All payments still count toward debt.

I was unemployed for about 9 months in 2015. Which resulted in me filing Ch. 7. I just learned I could have filed a separate motion to have my loans discharged possibly. Can I do that now if I can prove that I lived in poverty from 2015 to 2017 and was unable to repay the loans.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us. Please let me know what is a good number and when to call you so I can set up a free phone consultation?

My Mom is incapable of handling her debt . Can I file BR and include her debt I am cosigned on ?
You should be able to file a bankruptcy case for your mother under the authority of a suitable power of attorney in the instance where she does not have the mental capacity to participate and handle her own filing.

Depends on what chapter bankruptcy.
28th. What if I decided to ask for the chapter 13th to be dismissed. Would I have to return the vehicle?
No, but they’d be free to repossess it if you fail to make any future payments.
What is the required happenings to a victim to be considered an attempted battery?
This question should be posted in the criminal law section. Probate deals with deceased estates, guardianships, etc.
Do I have to contact the trustee in order to sell my house? What would happen if I sold the house without contacting the trustee?
You need trustees permission!

If you used an exemption to protect the money in your account, that should not be a problem. Consult your bankruptcy attorney to ensure the money is protected before you spend it.
Isn’t the $600 a week in UI considered stimulus money?
The stimulus check is not income. The $600 per week in UI is income.
So I had a lawsuit against me ( Collection from debt Buyer ) and after I filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy the case changed to ( Dismissal with Prejudice ) can you please tell me what does that mean and is it good or no ?
Thanks
That means it is all over, kaput, done, a dead soldier, whatever. "prejudice" means the end, "without prejudice" means it is probably on the back burner.
Good Luck

Yes. They cannot take any action against you regardless bc of the automatic stay. The status may not be changed until after your bankruptcy is discharged, but you are protected regardless.
